Ben Whishaw gives a deliriously committed performance in BAFTA-nominated British filmmaker Karia’s feature debut, a gripping and exhilarating thriller developed from his 2013 short Beat. Whishaw plays Joseph, an emotionally unstable airport security officer beset by loneliness, insomnia and unresolved feelings for his co-worker Lily. After lashing out at work, he goes on a chaotic odyssey through London, experiencing surreal and disturbing encounters with strangers (and more tender ones with Lily and his troubled parents) as his actions push him closer and closer to breaking point – and/or liberation.
