Part of the Heartbreakers Strand
When 17-year-old Sam is thrown out of boarding school, he could have never imagined his days would soon be filled with an even more laborious task: caring for Ruth, his estranged alcoholic grandmother who has become temporarily immobilised after a domestic accident. Condemned to imposed proximity, the antagonistic duo slowly wears each other down, their tender relationship at the heart of this double-edged examination of grief that sees Oscar-nominated actress Charlotte Rampling in one of her best recent performances.
