Writer-director Emily Young's BAFTA-winning debut is an incredibly moving story of love, death and grief. John (Peter Mullen) has been an aid worker in a war-torn area of Eastern Europe and is about to return home to his wife and children back in London who are anxiously waiting for his safe return. But unbeknownst to him, his wife Helen (Ingeborga Dapkuniate) is killed in a car accident. John and Helen's children and their grandfather (David Warner) are trying to cope with her death, anticipating John's return to the tragic news of his wife's death. But Helen is hauntingly caught between life and death.
