The debut feature of British writer-director Luna Carmoon offers impressively assured and promising filmmaking, skilfully shot by UK cinematographer Nanu Segal. British-Spanish actress Saura Lightfoot-Leon is remarkable as the traumatised lead, with fantastic supporting performances from UK actors Joseph Quinn, Hayley Squires and Samantha Spiro. Co-produced by Erebus Pictures, Anti-Worlds and Manchester-based Delaval Film.

Synopsis

Seven-year-old Maria (Lily-Beau Leach) used to sort through bins with her mother (Hayley Squires), who was a hoarder of rubbish. A decade later, now in the nineties, teenage Maria (Saura Lightfoot-Leon) lives in a foster home, where a previous resident, Michael (Joseph Quinn), encourages her to revisit her childhood memories and the passions she suppressed.
