Dirty God
Dutch film-maker Sacha Polak makes her English language debut with a gritty London-set drama about body image and self-confidence. Single mother Jade (Vicky Knight) is the victim of a horrific acid attack perpetrated by her ex-boyfriend. Her face, arms and torso are scarred and the hospital advises her to wear a clear face mask to protect tissue from further damage. When she is finally discharged, Jade recuperates at home with her mother Lisa (Katherine Kelly) and looks forward to embracing her young daughter Rae (Eliza Brady-Girard). The two-year-old is disturbed by the face mask and refuses to return the affection. Upset by her little girl's reaction, Jade seeks comfort from fun-loving best friend Shami (Rebecca Stone) and Shami's boyfriend Naz (Bluey Robinson). A night out proves to be a trial by fire and Jade musters courage for the obstacles that lie ahead.
