Feature
Paranoid and violent, army officer Liam (Andrew Connolly) is a terror to his suffering wife Tina (Jasmine Russell). Coming home drunk one evening he demands that Tina relates to him all the events of her day. From here a clever flashback structure relates the preceding hours, as Tina’s more normal life is contrasted with the depths Liam has sunk to in his increasingly-predatory pursuit of married woman Michelle (Michelle Houlden). Written and directed by Gerard Stembridge, moments of dark comedy relieve this grim tale of failed marriage that has become a prison for one woman.
