Written by acclaimed comic book writer Neil Gaiman and directed by his frequent illustrator Dave McKean, this fantasy adventure follows Helena (Stephanie Leonidas), a 15-year-old girl whose parents are circus performers, and who wishes that she could run away from home to join the real world. When her mother (Gina McKee) falls ill, Helena is convinced that it's her fault. Slipping into a fantastical dream world, Helena has to search for the fabled MirrorMask so she can heal the White Queen (McKee), and heal her mother. But as Helena further explores this strange world of unusual creatures, she starts to question whether she is really dreaming at all. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
