THE LOST DAUGHTER
(Feature Film)
Summary:
Adapted by Maggie Gyllenhaal from the Elena Ferrante novel of the same name. A psychologically complex story that focuses on a middle-aged divorcee called Leda (Olivia Colman, with Jessie Buckley playing Young Leda), who decides to spend a summer on her own. During her holiday she comes across a loud young family and becomes consumed by the mother, Nina (Dakota Johnson), and the relationship she has with her own daughter. After the child's doll goes missing, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family.

**ELENA is American, so please flag children who have a North American accent/have a North American parent who they may have picked this up from.
We wonder if some SOUTHERN IRISH voices, particularly on a small child may have some similar sounds and would be keen to see if you have any clients who might fit the bill.
NB Could be travelled for shoot in Greece from around Europe, don't have to be based in the UK.**
ELENA is around 3 - believably still using a dummy to soothe herself, although her Mum isn't keen she still has it. Daughter of NINA (Dakota Johnson) and her husband, TONI (who is Greek American, still to be cast).
The character is quite outgoing and can be fiery and throw tantrums, so we need someone who is energetic and will go there when we give them carte blanche, but also who can disappear into their own world so they just get on with playing/play acting in order to be natural and ignore the camera.

Appearance: Mediterranean or White
Pay category: Same as production (Overseas)
Agreements: TBC. Will be shooting in Greece so this will involve travel.
