About this Event
Part of the Little Venice Film Festival 2026, this intimate drama is set in June 2012, during the recession and the Afghanistan conflict.
Emily and Oliver leave their comfortable London life for a fresh start in a northern town. Hoping to build community, Emily invites their neighbours, Alan and Dawn, over for an evening — but what begins as a friendly gathering quickly spirals into a tense clash of ideas around class, art, war, and identity.
As the fallout unfolds, relationships begin to unravel, secrets surface, and a devastating event changes everything.
A gripping, character-driven story about good intentions, uncomfortable truths, and the fragile nature of connection.
Directed by Emma Croft
A filmmaker passionate about telling bold, socially engaged stories and amplifying unheard voices.
