Helena Beljan is a charismatic young actress whose talent and passion has yet to be discovered by a wider audience. Her natural ability to introspect and observe her character’s emotions, virtues and flaws makes her one of the most promising young talents in Croatia. “You Carry Me” is her first lead role and feature film for which she was casted between 250 children on an audition; the director Ivona Juka spotted her hanging out alone in the backyard after everyone had already gone home. Despite the objections from the production team, Ivona decided to cast her for the lead role and Helena made a big impression during rehearsals, not only because of her physical transformation but also for the level of commitment and concentration she has shown. Her previous film appearances and roles include shorts like “Ema” by Krasimir Gancev and “S kim zivi zutokljunac” by Kristina Kumric.
