Felicia's Journey is a 1999 film starring Elaine Cassidy and Bob Hoskins, based on a prize winning 1994 novel by William Trevor. It was directed by Atom Egoyan. It was entered into the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. Felicia (Elaine Cassidy), an Irish teenager, travels to Birmingham, England, hoping to find the boyfriend who made her pregnant but who then left Ireland without leaving an address. She accepts the help of a middle-aged man (Bob Hoskins), who appears friendly, but whose secret and sinister backstory is gradually revealed. Details of Felicia's relationships with her boyfriend Johnny - who joined the British Army - and her father, who disapproves of her relationship with a British soldier, are also recounted in flashback.
