After disappearing without a trace for a year, Kelly suddenly reappears at her sister Lauren's home in the Northern Ireland border region. But Lauren's joy at the return of the sorely missed Kelly, with whom she has a very close bond, is marred by her sometimes incomprehensible, provocative behaviour. It soon becomes clear that this has to do with the tragic death of their mother. And so the two sisters face their long repressed past together... Impressive film debut full of energy and power with two wonderful, absolutely convincing leading actresses who developed the story together with the director.


Recommended for ages 12+
