Laura (Jemima Rooper) is a lover of vodka, cocaine, other women, and placing her face in the toilet. She dies early in the film from a cocaine heart attack. But wait. She's not dead yet as a black liquid flows into her and she is suddenly revived. She leaves work following an expensive nose bleed. The bad news is her mother Celia (Kate Dickie) calls and asks her how she is doing after no contact for 20 years. Laura is talked into going home against her better judgement. Except for her friend Abi (Sarah Paul) the people in the village don't look like they aged. Mom is about 80 and has no wrinkles. They still have issues over Dad's suicide we see in the opening scene and mom is a bit odd and seems to want to hurt Laura. There is a lot of drama.
We don't know exactly what that black substance is but we know it is important and magical. The film has a low budget look and feel to it. I think the problem is they made Laura, the main character, self destructive and that friend we try to avoid.
Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity (Kate Dickie + others)
