JAMES COOKSON / DIRECTOR

Dylan, a young man living on an isolated farm in rural Wales, is struggling with his mental health. Shady deals with local drug dealers and a fractious relationship with his own father are feeding his unwanted thoughts and anxieties. The only hope he has comes from his girlfriend Jenny, and the promise of a future together, somewhere else.
