Suzy's a British soldier, born and bred, but fitting back into civilian life after fighting in Iraq isn't easy. Haunted by the responsibility she feels for the death of an Iraqi child, she becomes obsessed with the safety of her own daughter, feeling the need to protect her against a threat that doesn't seem to exist. As Suzy's paranoia builds, her behaviour becomes more and more erratic, until finally, she puts her own child in serious danger.

Drama

Kin

Director: Brian Welsh

Year: 2009

Frank’s life in London is uncomplicated. A game of pool, a pint and spending time with his care worker Sally are the extent of his wants. Frank's life takes a dramatic turn though when a phone-call from his estranged sister forces him back home to face a life he had long forgotten.<br /> <br /> Kin is a film about family, care, and the distance that can grow between those who should be closest. <br /> <br /> Dealing with issues of family responsibility that are universal to all of us, this directorial debut is a painfully touching experience.
