Precautionary Measure
Lizzy Deacon and Ika Schwander
Helen wins a life coaching session in a raffle. She is assigned life coach Hazel, who introduces Helen to the worlds of a variety of healing strategies she’s never needed up to now. But Helen decides to go all in, and gets immersed in a mash-up of rituals and procedures designed to cope with fear, rejection and grief. The film-makers raise the question as to whom this pain really belongs to.
