After the death of her father (Sean Bean seen in flashbacks), Alice Bell (Ruth Wilson) comes back to the Yorkshire family farm and must face up to the demons of her past, including her irresponsible brother (Mark Stanley) who is against her taking over the farm.
A rather bleak film, with the bleak landscape externalising Alice's interior turmoil in this slow moving but nevertheless rewarding low key and for the most part understated drama. As a drama it holds itself up well, but there is little that is very cheery here. Wilson holds the film together well and is both a controlled and understated performance.
