The Toll
Michael Smiley plays a criminal hiding out at the quietest toll booth in Wales, in this irresistibly clever and darkly-comic crime caper.
Director: Ryan Hooper
Overview
On the Pembrokeshire border, a mysterious man (Michael Smiley: Kill List, Luther) working solo shifts in the quietest toll booth in Wales, hides from a criminal past where nobody would ever look. As his past actions catch up with him and his peace is shattered, he enlists the help of local ne’er-do-wells and oddballs (including a female Elvis impersonator, rampaging triplets and disgruntled sheep farmers) when village police officer Catrin (Annes Elwy: Little Women) grows increasingly suspicious…
The Toll is a hugely entertaining, irresistibly clever and darkly-comic crime caper, reminiscent of the works of the brothers Coen and McDonagh. The Toll was made with the support of the BFI using funds from the National Lottery
