Synopsis

Trainee veterinarian Clover returns to the farm where she grew up after hearing news that her brother Harry has died in an apparent suicide. Finding the family home in ruins following floods in the Somerset area, Clover is forced to confront her father about the details surrounding Harry’s death.

Our take

The flooded Somerset plains are muddy with family secrets in Hope Dickson Leach’s acclaimed debut, starring a riveting Ellie Kendrick (Game of Thrones). Bringing the realist style of the Dardenne brothers to the English countryside, this intimate tale of loss mourns the precarity of farming life.
