You Need Help
An older couple experience a blip in an otherwise pretty uneventful marriage when the husband, Fred, avoids embracing retirement , and drifts purposeless around the house with an increasing resentful wife, Doreen.

But she’s terrified that his ‘ridiculous’ behaviour will show them both up…

Director : Barbara Elbinger
Barbara Elbinger was born in Argentina and trained in acting and filmmaking. Today she is based in the UK. Galvanised by a shorts competition in 2015, she devised and made the low-budget comedy A WAKE. She saw this opportunity as a testing ground and launch pad for directing. She considers ‘YOU NEED HELP’ to be her directorial debut.
