The Fight

Jessica Hynes’ directorial debut is a life-affirming lesson in the importance of learning to stand up for yourself.

Tina, a busy mother of three, can barely find any time for herself. With a husband on nightshifts, her daughter being bullied, her parents’ relationship on the rocks, plus her own full-time job to juggle, life is overwhelming. The reappearance of a former school rival threatens to tip her over the edge. Determined to regain control, Tina steps into the ring and discovers how to fight for herself.

The ever-charming Hynes (Spaced, W1A) proves herself as adept behind the camera as she is in front of it, crafting an effortlessly warm and witty family drama that proves we all have a lot to learn about ourselves, no matter our age.
