A cross between Ken Loach and Mike Leigh softened by a woman’s touch this is the story of a single working class British mother whose ex has thrown acid in her face thus disfiguring her beauty and changing her life forever.
Her friends seek to divert her attention; she seeks surgery, but in the end, when all fails, she finds a strength within herself to rebuild her life into what we hope will be a positive way.
