**her name in teh script is still Isabelle, but please change that to Catherine when reading**

- a woman in her mid 40's, feminine figure, some wrinkles, dark hair

- Kira's mother

- she was once a very beautiful, kind, loving woman who turned into a bitter, depressed, unhappy woman after the sudden child death of her son

- she never recovered from it and is still silently grieving the loss of her son AND ex husband whom she left because she couldn't manage the pain any more

- she remarried a guy only called the stepfather

- she used to love cooking, gardening and taking care of her little family

- these days she is constantly complaining and arguing with Kira to dress better, make something out of herself (with looks and make up)

- only to cover up that she gave up on herself

- only in some moments do we see in her eyes whom she once has been, other then that her eyes are empty and full of grief

She is a beautiful aged lady, yet the exhaustion/ desperation is visible on her face. Wrinkles and natural beauties are more than welcome :) Strong emotional resources, please.

**CASTING INSTRUCTIONS:

please do NOT audition any scenes. What I want to see is the following:

A typical slate (Full name, height, age, and where you are based, if you have a passport that allows you to travel to europe) plus what you wish the movie work environment would be like (your ideal work expectations)

Please read the attached script FULLY and tell me what you like and what you don't like/ would do differently

Write a 1-2 pages about how you could imagine the movie continues

What matters most for me (director, writer and lead cast Kira) is that you fully understand the bigger picture behind this movie trilogy. The WHY we do this, that you understand the higher values and mission.

I hope you enjoy the script and we can start working together,

Cheers,

Jen
