Director: Michael Winterbottom
Starring: Rachel Weisz, Alessandro Nivola, Luca Petrusic, Labina Mitevska, Carmen Ejogo

Plot: Michael Winterbottom (JUDE, WELCOME TO SARAJEVO) brings to life this haunting, sexy tale of a beautiful hairdresser, Helen (Rachel Weisz), who lives and works in an English seaside town. Honda (Luca Petrusic), a 14-year-old mute boy who surreptitiously tapes other peoples' conversations, develops a crush on her, and the two eventually form a friendship, even as Helen continues to mourn the loss of her father. Simultaneously, Martin (Alessandro Nivola) - Helen’s ex-con former boyfriend who has just spent nine years in jail - is back in town and looking to rekindle the old flame. As Honda turns his recording equipment on everyone around him, including his sister Smokey (Labina Mitevska), tensions boil over and the secrets make their way into the open air.

Winterbottom, who has crafted films as varied as the supremely touching GO NOW and darkly comic BUTTERFLY KISS, crafts a beautifully photographed, realistically erotic thriller with a distinctly noir-ish edge, which is enhanced by the alluring performances of its attractive cast (most notably, the stunning Weisz). Working from an original script by newcomer Eoin McNamee, Winterbottom proves once again that he is a director with the skill to breathe fresh life into a seemingly exhausted genre.
