Annabel Bates as AnnaAnna leaves her home address in a hurry. Knowing that her family will oppose her leaving to England, she just decides to gather the things she needs and goes. She leaves with just a rucksack on her shoulder containing one change of clothes. After a few days away from home she has been walking long distances, out in the rain and through forests and has not had chance to have a bath since. Anna and Joe are staying over temporarily at a place. Anna has spent days wearing and a night sleeping in the same clothes and finally decides she needs to clean up and change. This scene describes a little about Anna’s personality and her relationship with Joe.
It is just after she has left home and is in the midst of her travel out of France. She is staying over at a relative of Joe’s and cannot sleep for long. She slips away to shower to get a spare moment away on her own. She has just left home and it is a very sudden and life changing thing for do. She is unsure of herself, her future and about her relationship at this point with Joe.
During Anna’s time in France her dress is not very fashionable and she is not popular at school. She rotates the same clothes time and again for a long period. She feels warn down by leaving and decides she needs to make an effort to improve her appearance. Anna has never been in a relationship before and she is really drawn to Joe. Whilst Joe and everyone in the building is asleep she slips away to the bathroom to have a bath. She does not like boys at school and her norm is to do everything she can to not attract them. She doesn’t intermix, is quiet and wears long skirt and shirts and high neck T Shirts. Following her bath she feels cleaner. She considers she might have to let her normal guard down now she is left Joe and be more open to him and less protective of herself than the first days she spends with him. The alternative clothes she has are the most fashionable she has. It is a checked top and loose fitting very dark purple trouser’s. Her hair is wet and she has no towel so dries it on her clothes and dares to be more care free.
She goes downstairs to get a drink and sits at a table and begins to think about how her family will react to her leaving and how she will cope with what lies ahead. At this stage of the story Anna is still in France and can turn back and is nervous about her future. She worries about waking anyone and lights a candle that only lights her tiny space in the room at the table. She has a English book and is trying to learn English, but is not getting very far with it
