The Imitation | Film Synopsis



Liberty (Karen Richards) has found her true love, Richard Matthews (Richard Murphy). At first a facade of a blissful marriage; the couple both with good occupations and a romantic lifestyle. Her friends would see Liberty with a smile on her face at all times, and she was an environmentalist. A match made in Heaven to the outside, but not everything was as it seemed. Richard shortly starts his abuse towards Liberty, both physically and mentally. Richard comes home drunk and beats Liberty regularly, and soon starts his first of many sexual encounters with Megan (Liberty's sister played by Sarah Whitnall). Continuous drinking and cheating causes guilt to build up as rage inside Richard, and it becomes harder to cover up the bruises.

Liberty fears for her life, and how society will treat her, and she can no longer carry on this way. The determination within Liberty causes her to follow her husband, and she shockingly discovers the truth about the affairs between her sister and husband. She is distraught. A fire builds within her, and a plot to escape her miserable life forms. She soon realises that it is impossible to just disappear, therefore in an endeavour to create a better life for herself, she needs a body.
