Synopsis
"A film for everyone who has experienced
life"
On hearing of the sudden, drug-induced death of
her beloved friend Nicky, Meg returns to London
to seek comfort from her estranged best friend,
Ede, whom she has been avoiding for the past three
years.
Following Nicky's funeral and still in deep mourning,
Meg and Ede decide to travel to the South of France.
They see the journey as an opportunity to rebuild
their friendship and deal with their grief.
Driving a Citroen DS through the winding roads
of France, Meg and Ede are forced to confront
their fears. Buried memories resurface and an
old relationship is rekindled and rebuilt. Excitement
and endurance characterise their journey as they
learn to appreciate each other and the classic
car that transports them.
Interlaced with often amusing flashbacks of drug-induced
jubilation, Goddess is set in the lavish
landscape of the South of France. Goddess
is a film about recreational drug taking, death,
love and communication, at the heart of which
lies deeper understanding of grief and the nature
of true friendship.
"What is Goddess?"
"Goddess is a Road Movie that features the
'greatest car ever made!'".
Goddess is a light-hearted Road Movie about
beauty and death, risk, blame and forgiveness.
With strong essences of Thelma and Louise,
Withnail and I and Sideways, Goddess
examines the themes of lost friendship and rekindled
and renegotiated love. Two women, in the hope
of leaving their pasts behind them, set off on
a journey to Provence in a Citroen DS.
Goddess is an independent motion picture
shot in contemporary London and the South of France.
The film focuses on individuality and the relationships
we consider will last a lifetime. It presents
a comedic view on close companionship and, despite
two tragic drug-induced deaths, shows the amusing
side of recreational drug use. The film maintains
a fun and quirky quality throughout, holding the
viewer's attention away from ponderous realms.
