Donkeys (NR)

synopsis

The second feature to emerge from the Scottish-Danish Advance Party project -- after Andrea Arnold’s worldwide sensation Red Road -- is a tangled tale of friendship, forgiveness and deep-seated family secrets, enlivened by a strain of dark and thoroughly eccentric humour. After a somewhat misspent life, Alfred (James Cosmo) wants to make amends -- but can his guarded daughter Jackie (Kate Dickie) bring herself to forget the past?
