Followed by a Q&A with director Stuart Murdoch.

Set in Glasgow, God Help the Girl is about a girl called Eve who is in the hospital dealing with emotional problems and starts writing songs as a way of getting better. Songwriting becomes her way forward, leading her to the city where she meets James and Cassie, two musicians each at crossroads of their own. What follows is a story of renaissance over the course of a long, dream-like summer.
