Description
Paul Greengrass directs this British drama set against the backdrop of the Falklands conflict in 1982. David Thewlis stars as Kevin Deakin, a young soldier failing to cope with the strain of war. Having gone missing and been presumed dead during the conflict, Kevin is given a hero's memorial service and much posthumous applause in his northern hometown.
However, when he later turns up at the army barracks bedraggled and terrified, it becomes apparent that the truth behind his disappearance is less straightforward. The cast also includes Rita Tushingham, Tom Bell and Rudi Davies.
