Visits from the Drowned Girl
Steven Sherrill
Benny Poteat is the only witness to a young woman’s suicide. After setting up a video camera on the bank of a river, she undresses, walks into the water and disappears. Should Benny go to the police? Or keep this terrible information to himself? When Benny decides to find out who the woman was, what began as a blackly humorous tale peopled by misfits and loners, gradually descends into darkness and obsession. With heart-breaking honesty and touches of surrealism, Visits From the Drowned Girl uncovers the secret longings that dwell beneath the surface of everyday lives.
