A 2005 terrorist attack brings two worried parents to London--a Guernsey widow (Blethyn) who hasn't heard from her daughter, and an African immigrant (Kouyaté) in search of the son he abandoned long ago. Their paths cross and unexpectedly intertwine as they ride a roller-coaster of hope and dread in search of their lost children. This bittersweet, immensely touching drama showcases two great performances, with the flighty Blethyn (SECRETS AND LIES) and the dignified Kouyaté (DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) counterpointing each other beautifully.
