The honest verdict
Viewers like it. A moving and inspiring drama film, best with a partner and on your own. In a small, conservative Scottish village, an oilman is paralyzed in an accident. His wife, who prayed for his return, feels guilty; even more, when he urges her to have sex with another.
“This film is not for the faint of heart or soul.”A viewer review
Heads up: a lot of sexual content, some violence and a lot of scary scenes.
