As they spend more time together, their unique bond grows, unraveling the truth behind Pete’s motives.

« The acute command of atmosphere and performance should attract attention to a film that confirms prolific documentary maker Biancheri as a rising talent. » - SCREEN
« Biancheri controls this complex clash brilliantly and very naturally, and the film successfully showcases the animalistic acting talents of one of the rising stars of British cinema. » - DEADLINE
