Overview
Agyness Deyn stars in a powerful story seen through the eyes of a young woman, Lily, who’s held back by her regular epileptic seizures, electrical storms in her mind and body that play havoc with even the simplest social scenario.
When an inheritance presents itself, Lily leaves for London, embarking on a quest to find her brother, pushing herself to new physical and emotional limits in the process. Visualising Lily’s physical experience in ambitiously cinematic ways, Electricity ambitiously portrays the experience of living a constantly medicated life, anchored by Deyn’s magnetic performance.
