Project Detail

God's Acre

Synopsis

Heavy drinking, agoraphobic, ex property developer Malcolm has lost almost everything he ever possessed to the recession. He has one remaining property, his only chance of escape from a lifetime fending off bailiffs and parasitical ex employees chasing unpaid debts. He needs to renovate and sell... fast! But work comes to a premature halt when he discovers the layout of his home doesn’t match the original plans.
Armed with a claw hammer, he begins demolishing the internal walls, discovering toys, clothes and trinkets belonging to a woman and child entombed within every wall.
Plagued by nightmares and apparitions of previous tenants Malcolm’s obsession leads to uncharacteristic acts of violence as he tries to protect his last remaining possession and unearth the dark truth hidden within it's four walls.
