Beautiful in the Morning (United Kingdom, 2019, 84 minutes)

Director: Flavia Casa

Reunited in British seaside town, three generations of women yearn for a life outside the boundaries of home. When they hire a sexy stranger named Nick to renovate their house, Marielle, the youngest, finds her loyalties tested by his surprising charm, and dives into an affair which quickly spins out of control. Nadine, the matriarch of the family, rekindles the acting dreams of her youth as Marielle's older sister, Adrienne, uses Nick as a distraction and a goad as she breaks up with her husband Hugo.


As the summer heats up, Nick plays dangerous games with Marielle, exerting a brute power that seems to mesmerise her. While he responds to the women's need for escape and inner desires, he exposes a violent and self-destructive behavior that hurts Marielle and her family. It's up to Marielle to confront his deception and mend the family bonds, by fixing the foundations

that Nick has broken.
