In the film Helena’s, played by Daisy Ridley, ordinary life hides a dark and dangerous truth. Her estranged father is the infamous Marsh King, played by Ben Mendelsohn, the man who kept her and her mother captive in the wilderness for years.
When her father escapes from prison, Helena must confront her past. Knowing that he will hunt for her and her family, Helena must find the strength to face her demons and outmaneuver the man who taught her everything she knows about surviving in the wild.
There was never a doubt for the producers and director that Daisy Ridley was their perfect Helena. Remarks Teddy Schwarzman, “Daisy has these emotive eyes, and she can convey so much by doing so little. Additionally, Daisy not only has the physicality that the role requires but possesses the intelligence and empathy to perfectly nail the role of Helena.”
