Synopsis


A traumatised refugee has fled to London. But when the war is over … the nightmares begin.

Lydia has come to London. She wants to lose herself in urban anonymity; fade into the background of city life. She wants to forget the atrocities of the war she has left behind in her homeland, Yugoslavia. Her nightmares are filled with the horror of this war and, tortured by these nightmares, she is pushed to the edge of madness. But she is waiting. She waits to be followed. She knows he will find her and she waits to be found....

As children, Lydia and her twin brother Stefan, were witness to the murder of their parents; Lydia turned to the church and nunhood, Stefan to the gun and the ways of the devil. But Stefan, now a wanted war criminal, has disappeared off the face of the earth.

By day, Lydia makes frequent visits to Father Ignatius, seeking forgiveness for her brother's sins. By night, she is consumed by the vileness of these sins. She seeks peace and an end to the terror, to the waiting. But there are others she must deal with before the pain and suffering can end.

A soul searching film exploding with rich imagery, pain and elation. Is there salvation? Can there be peace after inhuman devastation?
