Hansel

Deep in a Cornish wood, in a remote cottage, elderly hoarder Edith is visited by her daughter Viv for her quarterly sort-out. Among the bickering and debris, tensions rise when Viv discovers Edith’s friendship with a teenage boy, sleeping rough in the woods outside.

Funny, beautiful and poignant, Hansel is an atmospheric story of rural life and family relationships.
