Full reviewBritish drama about a female soldier (Joanne Froggatt, in a role that won her Most Promising Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards 2010) returning home from Iraq, struggling to readjust to life with her daughter and husband.
"Suzy's a born and bred soldier, but fitting back into civilian life after fighting in Iraq isn't easy. Haunted by the responsibility she feels for the death of an Iraqi child, she becomes obsessed with the safety of her own daughter, feeling the need to protect her against a threat that doesn't seem to exist. As Suzy's paranoia builds, her behaviour becomes more and more erratic, until she starts to put her own child in serious danger." (Official Synopsis)
