Excellent performances and a gritty realism highlight this multi-award winning film. A bleak rooming house is the setting for a story which challenges our assumptions about mental illness, innocence and family. A strange and lonely little man named Ed is left alone with the young daughter of his new neighbours. An uneasy tension hangs in Ed's room and in the viewers mind as the film clips along to its unexpected conclusion.
