However, when a leaflet lands on his doormat promising to bring joy into his life again, he embarks on a mission to find himself, and put the much-needed magic - and music - back into their marriage.

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.
