The story takes place in the harsh winter of Massachusetts in 1964. A young girl, Irene, lives between her painful native family (alcoholic father) and her job as a youth prison guard who is marginalized by her colleagues.Even though life was so difficult and struggling, her temperament remained extremely calm and indifferent.

It wasn't until Rebecca, the new counselor at the youth prison, arrived that something changed in Erin.She was immediately fascinated by the charming and mysterious Rebecca, and fell deeply into it. Rebecca became the only light in Erin's life, and the two immediately established a redemptive friendship.

《Eileen/Eileen》Excerpts from the novel

I used to look like the kind of girl you'd meet on the city bus: reading a cloth-bound book about plants or geography borrowed from the library, maybe wearing a hairpin in my light brown hair.net.Judging by my slightly nervous hands, tapping feet, and biting lip, you might have thought I was a nursing school student or a typist.I don't look special at all.It's not difficult to imagine such a girl - a strange, young, timid version of me, holding a leather wallet of unknown brand, or eating a small bag of peanuts, holding the peanuts between her gloved fingers.He rolled around, sucking his cheeks, and stared anxiously out of the window.The early morning sun would make the weight loss on my face clearly visible, and I tried to hide it with powder, the tone of which looked too pink against my colorless skin.I am thin, my body is crooked, my movements are abrupt and hesitant, and my posture is stiff and reserved.All the undulations on my face were soft, endless acne scars that obscured any emotion, whether joy or anger, behind my icy, New England exterior.If I had worn glasses, I might have been able to pretend to be smart, but at that time I simply didn't have the patience to be really smart.You would have thought that I would have enjoyed a closed room, relaxing in the dreary silence, my eyes moving slowly across the room's papers, walls, heavy curtains, and my mind never following what my eyes were seeing.Transform - whether it's a book, a table, a tree or a person.But the truth is, I hate silence.I hate stillness.I hate almost everything.I'm always upset or angry.

The story of the play is also exciting, and the two protagonists' acting skills are excellent. It can be regarded as a high-quality work in recent times. The above is the entire introduction to Eileen/Eileen, the original novel of the film.Friends who are interested remember to watch it, and remember to pay attention to our line classes.
