Battersea: Trailer
When Lou was sixteen, she fled her small hometown and never looked back. Meanwhile, her brother, Les, never left. Now, in the wake of their mother’s death and the subsequent selling of the family home, they find themselves face-to-face for the first time in fifteen years. As they reacquaint—and drink booze out of old family mugs—they’re relieved by how easily they can slip back into old roles, playfully goading each other, testing one another’s differing worldviews. But as the weekend unfolds, the conversations get more complicated.
