In the brightness of an Australian summer, 40-year-old Sarah must confront the brutal truth that she's trapped in an abusive marriage and the romantic illusions that have sustained it. As the struggles of her 13-year-old son's adolescence begin to surface, she sees the escalating danger of staying -- for both herself and her son.

Its take on domestic violence is natural and refreshingly different from the angle most films would take. It creates suspense without over-writing but perhaps needed a little more.

Tarasin’s promising debut feature may not be an easy watch, but it feels like an important one.

It’s not my intention to be unkind, but quite honestly that was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Really. I’d love to see all concerned going on to do wonderful things, but I’m sorry, this was terrible.
