An alienated teenager, saddened that he has moved away from London, must find a way to deal with a dark family secret.
Tim Roth's directorial debut is an unconventional choice. Centred around the theme of incestuous pedophilia, it is a disturbing film that doesn't hold back until your mind does the horrific work for you. A subject which, in the hands of many other directors, could turn out like a dirty porn is actually treated sensitively and any nudity from the leading actress, Lara Belmont, is not displayed to turn on the viewer. Ray Winstone plays "Dad" and again proves that he is not afraid of taking on edgy roles that represent the more unsettling elements of human nature.
