This film captures the claustrophobia of a failed relationship, with only two actors confined to their leafy family home and garden over what could be their last 24 hours together.
Gosia Dobrowolska plays Renata, the migrant wife of the hard-drinking, urbane, chatty professional David, played by TV veteran Sean Scully. Both are very convincing, Dobrowolska as a sensitive woman trying to escape, but hindered by her fear of the outside world, and Scully as the seemingly understanding, but controlling, man of the house. The past is gradually revealed as both become increasingly desperate to achieve control over their lives.
This is a very revealing and satisfying film about the difficult subject of relationships that turn toxic.
