Gideon's Daughter

A melancholic character study of grief and disconnection set against the backdrop of 1997 Britain, where a self-absorbed PR executive and a grieving mother each grapple with loss and the possibility of redemption.

Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson star in a story of grief and celebrity, set in the intense spring and summer of New Labour's election victory and Diana's death. Nighy is a PR guru who has to stop and re-evaluate his world when his daughter threatens to leave his life, perhaps as revenge for his serial infidelities. Richardson plays a mother trying to bury her grief in an unconventional way after the loss of her young son.
