Joseph (Peter Mullan, My Name is Joe and War Horse) is a man plagued by violence and a rage that is driving him to self-destruction. Hannah (Olivia Colman, The Iron Lady) is a worker at a charity shop, a respectable woman who appears wholesome and happy. When circumstance brings the pair together, Hannah appears as Joseph's guardian angel, tempering his fury and offering him warmth, kindness and acceptance. As their relationship develops, Hannah's own dark secrets are revealed and Joseph emerges as her potential unlikely saviour. With striking, award-winning performances and a deeply felt story, actor-turned-writer/director Paddy Considine's film is a stunning debut about the emergence of grace and redemption from the least likely of places.
