Kevin & Cassandra
Starring Ali Kinteh, Fiona Mwaka Callan and Lithasa Orlando.
KEVIN & CASSANDRA are a married couple who have lost their only daughter HANNAH in a freak car accident. They both raised her differently. Kevin had been a traditional parent, Cassandra a permissive one. While Hannah had decided to exhibit her body and mind online and gained a social media following, she cut adrift from her father and gravitated towards her mother. Her death drove a wedge between them.
Their lounge becomes a battlefield where incendiary words and spiteful things are said. Their marriage is one where opposites no longer attract. Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s scarlet colors with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. As far as she is concerned, Hannah's light lives on. So whilst Cassandra celebrates her daughter's life, Kevin mourns her eternal loss. The child that had once bound them together is dead. Will their marriage follow suit?
KEVIN & CASSANDRA will have its international premiere screening at the 20th Marbella International Film Festival 2025 (September 29, 2025- October 5, 2025). It has been selected in the FILM FINALIST category.
