Trauma

Synopsis

A mind-taunting psychological chiller, Trauma starts with a death, but then takes a far more sinister turn. Ben is a thirtysomething drifter whose life falls apart when his wife, Elisa, is killed in a car accident. The tragedy prompts him to return to sessions with Dr Manor, a shrink he used to see when he was younger. Attempting to build up his life again, he moves to a new apartment and befriends his attractive, bohemian neighbour, Charlotte. A new job as a painter and decorator with Tommy, an old chum from art school days also seems to help with his recovery. But then strange, unexplained things start to happen to Ben. Someone is moving things around in his flat while he sees apparitions of Elisa. When Charlotte persuades Ben to visit a medium, he makes a terrifying discovery. And this is just the beginning.

The remarkable true story of a rag tag group of football fans who saved their club from oblivion. The film tells the story of Swansea City FC’s journey from the lower rungs of league football, with the club being sold for £1 in 2001, to achieving a £90m promotion to the Premier League just 10 years later.

It is the summer of 1976, the hottest summer in living memory, and keen drama teacher Vivienne fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on a school musical of her version of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. To get the kids engaged, she weaves the play around their favourite pop songs, using the hits of the day by artists as diverse as David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Dusty Springfield and Electric Light Orchestra. The music is sung and performed by a fresh and enormously talented group of young actors led by rising star Aneurin Barnard. The result is a film that is in turn touching, life affirming, funny and nostalgic, and a love letter to the music of the period.
