Belonging

You’ll marvel at this simply triumphant portrayal of the glorious limits of human endurance. Happily married Jess (Brenda Blethyn, Saving Grace, Pride and Prejudice) and Jacob (Kevin Whately, Inspector Morse, The English Patient) live with Jacob’s elderly relatives. Jess enjoys caring for them—until Jacob leaves for a younger woman. Her once-contented life now a tangled mess of duty, rage and self-doubt, Jess struggles to keep her dignity while coping with family burdens and her own wounded desperation. A wonderfully performed and painfully perceptive drama about the bittersweet bonds of love and betrayal.
