An award-winning adaptation of Elliot Perlman's novel starring David Wenham and Frances O’Connor

Opening with family man Eddie (David Wenham, Lord of The Rings) being sacked for telling the truth, this award-winning adaptation of Elliot Perlman's novel is a tale of love and moral decency struggling for survival against globally omnipotent management systems. Thrown from his safety net, Eddie crashes to street level and must scavenge for his wife and daughter, while also coping with his childhood sweetheart’s dramatic reappearance on the scene in this rich and provocative story of love, choice and what lurks just beneath our solvent lives.
