When I read the script I knew there is something really unusual and beautiful about the story and the characters. It is a story of a woman named Agnes, taken for granted as a suburban mother, who discovers a passion for solving jigsaw puzzles which unexpectedly draws her into a new world – where her life unfolds in ways she could never have imagined. I am playing her new world 🙂 I have been grateful for them amazing opportunities that has come my way, but I really wanted to break away from the studio films for a bit and do something more intimate. I am glad that I took this chance. “
