The Nest
Having it all is never enough.
Directed by Sean Durkin
Produced by FilmNation Entertainment, BBC Film
A darkly melancholic family drama about ambition's corrosive effects, set against the decay of 1980s Britain.
Rory is an ambitious entrepreneur who brings his American wife and kids to his native country, England, to explore new business opportunities. After abandoning the sanctuary of their safe American suburban surroundings, the family is plunged into the despair of an archaic '80s Britain and their unaffordable new life in an English manor house threatens to destroy the family.
