The Levelling



Hope Dickson Leach : 2016

Somerset, October 2014. When trainee veterinary surgeon Clover Catto receives a call telling her that her younger brother Harry is dead, she must return to her family farm and face the man she hasn't spoken to in years: her father Aubrey. She is shocked to discover her home changed forever by the devastating floods that destroyed the area six months earlier, and Aubrey a tormented shadow of his former self. As she learns what has been going on in her long absence she and her father forge a new understanding, but can it withstand the troubles that they face on the ravaged farm as well as the truth of what drove Harry to take his own life? As the funeral approaches, her discoveries send Clover on an emotional journey of reckoning – with her family, her childhood and herself. Hope Dickson Leach's feature debut premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2016.
