Followed by a recorded Q&A with filmmaker Phyllida Lloyd.
Acclaimed stage director Phyllida Lloyd, whose previous films include MAMMA MIA! and THE IRON LADY, returns with a scrappy, tough-minded tale of perseverance and heartwarming community. After years of enduring the physical abuse of her husband Gary (Ian Lloyd Anderson), working-class mom Sandra (Clare Dunne, who co-wrote the screenplay) leaves with their two young daughters and finds temporary shelter in an airport hotel. Now on a three-year-long wait list to get public housing and start a new life independent of her tormentor, Sandra dreams of a better way. Aided by an internet how-to video and the generosity of Peggy (Harriet Walter), her part-time employer, Sandra takes on the project of building her own "tiny house" for herself and her kids. Official Selection, 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
