Norfolk (2015)

Duration: 90:00    Category: Feature, SDI Productions   

A father and son live a reclusive lifestyle in the middle of nowhere. The man, a disillusioned mercenary, has his final target in sight – a gang of foreign revolutionaries who lay low in a nearby derelict compound. As the man closes in on his target the boy falls for the revolutionaries’ serving girl. Having spent his whole life in isolation the boy now discovers the warmth of friendship and the pleasures of something more.

As father and son collide the boy is sent running, running in pain and full of betrayal, straight into the twisted embittered arms of the boy’s maternal grandparents, who have come to snatch and save the boy. Figuring out what is right and wrong, what is good and bad is a task for both the man and the audience.

A Scottish Documentary Institute and Cry Baby Films Production, in collaboration with iFeatures

Reviews:

★★★★ – Film and TV Now
“…accomplished piece of British Drama [which] is certainly going to provide some food for thought.”

★★★★ – Dirty Movies
“The protagonists are outstanding: their taut and yet dynamic looks captivate the audience, and expose the frenetic state of the characters.”

“Norfolk is worth the watch, if only to see Ménochet and Keoghan shine in its bizarre landscape.” – Screen Relish

“This should be watched by anyone interested in exciting cinema” – Kevin Matthews, Flickfest
