Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer’s powerful, evocative drama is set in a windswept Irish fishing village. It centres on a mother (Emily Watson) who is torn between her love for her returning emigrant son (Paul Mescal) and her own sense of right and wrong. What follows threatens to tear an entire community apart as a terrible secret is revealed. Watson, Mescal and Aisling Franciosi deliver powerful performances in this taut and emotive thriller.
