Storyline
Frank Dillon is on the brink of retiring from the Army after dedicating 15 years to his service. He’s left with a mere £5,000, which won’t suffice for long, and carries both physical and psychological wounds from his time in service. He finds solace in the company of his comrades, preferring to drink and seek confrontation rather than return to the family he deeply loves but also deeply pains him.

“Every adaptation has things you have to leave behind in service of creating a cinematic idea that embodies the essential values of the book.”
