This intimate, character-driven drama traces the increasing trauma of the Morel family when their 17-year-old daughter, Leah, fails to return home from a night out. The Disappearance explores every parent’s worst nightmare: their child going missing, their fate unknown.

Promising student, Leah, and her cousin, Chris, should have returned from Lyon’s Festival of Music with exciting tales of teenage adventure… but she didn’t come home. The last that was heard of her was a 3am answering machine message saying: “Daddy! It’s Leah... Daddy if you’re here please pick up!” Her father, Julien, cannot bear to wait. He embarks on a mission to find his daughter. Her mother, Florence, tries to maintain a semblance of normality, especially for her younger daughter, Zoe. Meanwhile, Leah’s elder brother, Thomas, is racked by guilt. He had promised to accompany her home that night.
