Whole story of our film

The opening of the film, is very slow and in a tranquil setting. The scene where the father's body is revealed on the floor, we see the Mother look at him with a bag full of luggage and a look of dis concern, and almost disgust on her face before exiting the house. 

The audience does not yet know this, but the Father has abused the Mother and Talulla (protagonist) for years, and this day it finally became too much for Talulla's Mother and she killed him. Whether it was accidental or not is unclear. She then texted Talulla saying "come home now please" then exits the house with the bags. 

This is as far as the audience sees in the opening two minutes

OUR FILM CONTINUED...

Talulla's (nameless) Mother will then wait in the car for Talulla to arrive home and explain to her the situation, before leaving to a better life. The rest of the film is a story of survival of a mother and daughter and shows the way they have to live in order to never be caught by the police. They hide for years, change their names, they change everything about themselves and they are happily settling in to normal life again. 

10 years later curiosity gets the better of Talulla, and she decides to visit her old home / the house her Father was killed in. The house is completely abandoned with the same furniture and everything remained as it had been when they had left. As she looked she remembered all of the horrific times her and her mother had to endure here. She gets caught looking in the house by a police officer who had been head of the murder case of her Father, and the police officer recognizes immediately Talulla's vibrant red hair, which had changed scarcely since she was a child, from photos of the family in the house when the murder investigation took place. 

Talulla is immediately taken in for questioning, although she doesn't tell them anything and sticks to a quickly made up sorry throughout the whole questioning period. She has her one phone call and obviously phones her mother, telling her of the situation. What will her mother do to help? she obviously doesn't want her daughter to take the blame so she decides to turn up and give herself in to the police, confessing the murder, and subsequently setting Talulla free, giving her the life she had always wanted for her daughter.
