Alis Jenkins

Alis is going through a rough time; she has recently run away from her violent boyfriend, and is looking for a sheltered place to pass the night on the streets. She has no friends and struggles to satisfy her basic needs. Sense of belonging, security and affection only exist in her dreams: vivid recollections of her childhood with her beloved Irina, extroverted and caring, whom she lost long ago.
As a result of an unlikely twist of fate Alis meets Jean, whose physical appearance astonishingly resembles Irina's. Appeasement of her subconscious needs of affection seems within reach but Jean is introverted, leaving Alis short of the warmth she misses so much.
This incongruence forces Alis to change her own ways in order to foster Jean's outward behaviour. In this process of self change, from which she will emerge as a different human being, the few secrets that Jean keeps will play a significant role.
William Walton, introverted lover of the arts, lets the story tell what's inside him.
