The rough urban life in a Welsh valley that focuses on Jo, a single mother who has just become pregnant by her married boyfriend Kevin.
Jo is a single mother in the middle of a tempestuous love affair with Kevin, a married man. She is pregnant, and when Kevin starts to mess her around and her mother is taken ill, Jo's life starts to crumble. Written and directed by leading Welsh film-maker Karl Francis , this tough and compassionate film received a jury commendation at the Edinburgh Festival.
Karl Francis created this film from one powerful image in a newspaper of a policeman holding a baby's coffin. From there he structured a very strong script that you'd find yourself drawn into regardless what the outcome for Jo may be. The acting is quiet convincing by professional actors who look and behave as if they where picked off the streets and told to portray their lives for the camera.
A worthy film made for three hundred thousand pounds, shot in four weeks and cut in three weeks. Karl puts this achievement down to knowing the craft of film making.
