Movie Rating: Constantin Xenakis

A young Irish mum is forced to spy on her IRA brothers by the British secret service.

Death haunts Collette's family, all long-time members of the IRA. She has been widowed by the cause and is the reason for the death of her younger brother as a child. Living with her brothers, her mother and her young son, Collette is arrested by the British secret service while trying to set off a bomb in the London tube. She is given two alternatives: 25 years in prison and losing her son to social services, or returning to Belfast to spy on her brothers for MI5. Although an agent promises her absolute safety, his superiors seem ready to sacrifice her to catch bigger IRA fish...

Thriller with a young heroine forced to choose between her brothers and her son, as she still suffers the guilt of causing her younger brother's death. Set in a grey and sad Northern Ireland with a tense and bitter atmosphere – and guaranteed suspense.
