Gillyfish

While attempting to keep her mother’s Bed and Breakfast afloat, Gillian falls for a young drifter, Lana.  When Lana shares that her father abandoned her as a child, Gillian offers to drive with Lana across Ireland to confront him. But when they arrive, Lana freezes and runs away with the car, leaving Gillian stranded.  In a moment of grief, Gillian approaches Lana’s father’s home, where his new family mistakes Gillian for Lana, and takes her in.  Living as Lana for the summer, Gillian forms a connection with their young son on the autism spectrum, navigates her suspicions they all know more than they seem, and encounters repeated magical signals from the land. As things intensify, the truth is revealed, and the family shares that Lana ran away just years ago – they played along for a chance at closure, everyone using proxy to heal.
