A young woman, freshly released from prison, tries to regain custody of her two children.

Molly is volatile, reckless, self-sabotaging; constantly breaking her promises to toe the line, much to her daughter’s distress. A chance encounter with childhood friend Amina offers succour, but it’s unclear whether Molly can escape the shadow of her own childhood trauma.” Catherine Wheatley – Sight and Sound.

It’s an impassioned, humane and urgently performed drama, a vivid look at what it’s like to be reduced to screaming anguish by the system – as well as what it’s like to work for the system, and to be the brick wall getting screamed at.” Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian.
