Kiss of Life (working title Helen of Peckham) is a 2003 drama film.

Helen lives in London with her father and her children, but is suddenly killed in a car accident.

Aid worker John is trying desperately to get back to his family from Bosnian war, unaware that his wife is dead.

[5] Lithuanian actor Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė stepped in to play Helen at short notice, after the actor originally booked to play the role, Katrin Cartlidge, died suddenly in 2002,[4] two weeks before production was scheduled to begin.

[3] Film critic and historian Robert Murphy praised the cast for "an impressively convincing performance", and wrote that Young "deserves credit for telling her story through images rather than dialogue, and dealing intelligently with death, memory, and love".
