BIFA award-winning documentary Evelyn tells the story of a family overcoming the unthinkable. On a walking odyssey across the United Kingdom, they confront a past they’ve been unable to talk about, whilst simultaneously repairing the fractures in their own relationships.
Director Orlando von Einsiedel turns the cameras on himself, as he, his parents and siblings embark on a journey in remembrance of their brother and son, Evelyn, who took his own life over a decade ago. Part quest, part road-trip, part memoir, Evelyn seeks to address the past, in order to find some peace in the present, and look to the future.
