Help

Sarah e deșteaptă, dar niciodată nu și-a găsit locul, nici în educație și nici la muncă. Familia i-a spus că nu o să realizeze niciodată nimic, dar tânăra își găsește în mod neașteptat chemarea ca îngrijitoare la un cămin din Liverpool. Sarah are un talent special și se apropie de cei de acolo, mai ales de Tony, în vârstă de 47 de ani. Din cauza Alzheimerului cu debut timpuriu, Tony își trăiește viața la cămin, pe măsură de mintea i se deteriorează. Boala îi declanșează perioade de confuzie și ieșiri violente, cărora ceilalți îngrijitori nu le pot face față. Însă bărbatul începe să construiască o legătură reală cu Sarah. Apoi vine martie 2020 și tot ce a realizat Sarah e pus sub semnul întrebării odată cu apariția pandemiei de coronavirus.

Curiozități

Help is a 2021 British drama television film about the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, written by Jack Thorne and directed by Marc Munden. It follows Sarah, a young health care assistant who starts working at a care home in Liverpool, where she cares for Tony, a middle-aged man who has early-onset Alzheimer's disease; when the pandemic hits the UK, both their worlds are completely transformed. It premiered on Channel 4 on 16 September 2021.

Production

On 20 November 2020, Channel 4 announced that Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham would star in a television drama film produced by The Forge about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact in the UK, with Jack Thorne writing the script and Marc Munden signing on as director. Speaking about the project, Thorne said: "About two years ago Stephen Graham came to me with an idea to write something for him and Jodie Comer.

Thorne's original intention was to write a story about "different aspects of care homes and a different aspect of care home politics", but he was told to change it by The Forge founder George Faber. "I was a bit scared of writing about Covid," Thorne told Empire magazine's Pilot TV. "I didn't really want to write a Covid drama. But then the more stuff I read, the more important it seemed to be."

Help was mostly shot in Liverpool, while some scenes were also filmed on Thurstaston Beach on the Wirral Peninsula, and in a former care home in Maghull.

The third part of the film, where Sarah is alone on the night shift and desperately tries to get in touch with the emergency services, was done in a single take that lasted over 26 minutes. During a press Q&A, Comer admitted that this sequence was "probably the most difficult" scene to shoot throughout filming. "Marc [Munden] really pushed me on that," she said.
