A meditative portrayal of terrorist, disinherited heiress and expectant mother Rose Dugdale - based on the real-life story of the self-radicalised Provisional IRA volunteer, who led an art raid for principle not money. "Time moves like ripples before and after the raid, with glimpses of contemporary reportage. We’re presented with violence, contradictions, lush cinematography and, ultimately, a portrait of a singular personality."
