ISLA

Isla is a patient at a psychological asylum. Her only known illness is bipolar disorder, and her demeanour is one of the more stable ones in the establishment. She is cunning, curious and ambitious. Her loneliness forces her to watch films as a coping mechanism, and she learns to love them. During films, her true nature is revealed as her usual charming and kind demeanour shifts to an emotionless vessel filled with dark intent.
