In modern-day Manchester, a family of devout Jehovah's Witnesses comes under intense strain in this thought-provoking, quietly moving British drama.

Single mother Ivanna (Siobhan Finneran) and her daughters, 18-year-old Alex (Molly Wright) and her older sister Luisa (Sacha Parkinson), each finds her faith and loyalties put to the test by the strict demands of their religion.

An impressive feature debut for writer-director Daniel Kokotajlo, drawing on his insight and experiences as a former Jehovah's Witness to create a sensitive exploration of faith and family, freedom and community.
