Suzy (Joanne Frogggat, ‘Downton Abbey’) a private in the British army struggles to readjust to civilian life after a tour in Iraq. She struggles to reconnect with her husband Mark, a squaddie who’s been brutalised by his own experiences of the war. And, haunted by the memory of an Iraqi girl, she becomes obsessively protective of her own child, perceiving threats where there seem to be none. As Suzy’s paranoia builds, her behaviour becomes more and more erratic, leading to disastrous consequences.
Joanne Froggatt gives a powerful central performance in the second feature film by Brian Welsh (‘Beats’).
