Englisch Glasgow-born photographer Lynne Ramsay completed her cinematography studies at London Film School with a short triptych dealing with three of her childhood memories. The film was screened in Cannes, where it won the jury prize. The overarching theme of all three short stories, which like Ramsay’s later films address the issues abuse, isolation and loneliness, is the demise of an innocent child's view of world when confronted with harsh reality, whether that involves a conflict between the child’s parents, the death of an animal or cruel children’s games, all through the eyes of a girl for whom these events serve as unexpectedly and unpleasantly early preparation for adulthood.
