"Barbara Marten gives a bravura performance that tugs at the heartstrings in this drama co-starring Andrina Carroll and Andrew Dunn. Marten plays Ellen, a working-class mother in Northern England who struggles mightily with her feelings for another woman (Carroll) -- who happens to be her 10-year-old son's (Dunn) exuberant teacher. A fine smoldering portrait of repressed sexuality and the courage it takes to "come out of the closet.""
