BAFTA-winner Jared Harris stars as a father wrestling with uncertainty when his daughter reappears a decade after vanishing.
Director: Virginia Gilbert
Overview
John (Jared Harris) and Mary (Juliet Stevenson) have lived with grief and uncertainty since the day their 14-year-old daughter Clare (Erin Doherty) ran away. Now, a decade later, the couple come face to face with a young woman claiming to be their daughter. Whilst Mary is overjoyed, John finds it hard to accept that Clare is who she says she is, and as old tensions resurface, a gripping search for the truth unfolds.
BAFTA-nominated writer-director Virginia Gilbert delivers a powerful, psychologically piercing and searingly emotional second feature.
