Eternal Beauty
Welsh actor Craig Roberts builds on the promise of his 2015 directorial debut Just Jim with a romantic comedy drama, which is informed by medical specialists in the field of schizophrenia. Jane (Sally Hawkins) is the middle child of three sisters, who has always cowered in the shadow of her domineering mother Vivian (Penelope Wilton). In her early 20s, Jane was abandoned at the altar by dashing beau Johnny (Robert Aramayo) - a devastating betrayal that coincided with her diagnosis with paranoid schizophrenia. She takes medication to manage her condition, affording some semblance of an independent life from her parents Vivian and Dennis (Robert Pugh) and siblings Alice (Alice Lowe) and Nicola (Billie Piper). When Jane abandons her treatment plan, she feels more alive and sparks an awkward romance with aspiring musician Mike (David Thewlis). However, spiteful Nicola resolves to wreck the relationship and Jane's chaotic world spins out of control.
