Wreckers



D R Hood : 2011

Dawn and David have moved back to the village where he grew up to start a family. Their relationship seems idyllic, but getting pregnant is proving difficult and adding to the strain of building their perfect home. Out of the blue, David's younger brother Nick appears. A soldier on leave, Nick sleepwalks and is prone to dark moods, yet Dawn is affected by her brother-in-law's vulnerability, and they start to spend an increasing amount of time together. Gradually, buried incidents from the brothers' shared history start to reveal themselves, forcing Dawn to confront the question of whether she really knows her husband at all. A moment of anger pulls Dawn into the web of guilt. Now, like David, she has something to hide. Dictynna Hood's debut feature is an evocative, beautifully shot drama examining the fragile relationship between truth, intimacy and betrayal.
