The Mother

Synopsis

May (Anne Reid) is an ordinary grandmother from the suburbs. When her husband (Peter Vaughan) dies on a family visit to London, she recedes into the background of her busy, metropolitan children's lives. Stuck in an unfamiliar city far from home, May fears that she has become another invisible old lady whose life is more or less over. Until, that is, she falls for Darren (Daniel Craig), a man half her age who is renovating her son's (Steven Mackintosh) house and sleeping with her daughter (Cathryn Bradshaw).
