Family drama Two For Joy will arrive on VOD on 25th February 2019 via The Movie Partnership.
Produced by Sadie Frost and directed by Tom Beard, Two For Joy stars Samantha Morton, Daniel Mays, Bella Ramsay, Billie Piper and Badger Skelton. It is Beard’s feature film debut.
Two For Joy is a visceral and moving exploration of one British family’s life, navigating their way through grief in the years following their father’s death. Aisha’s (Samantha Morton) struggle with mental health is making home life increasingly unmanageable for her teenage daughter Vi (Emilia Jones) and young adolescent son Troy (Badger Skelton).
Vi has been forced to grow up fast, caring for her mother whilst also trying to look after Troy. With no father figure and mother-daughter roles reversed, Troy has become a law unto himself, excluded from school he spends his days cruising the estate or fishing the reservoir.
The tension at home is palpable – something has to give. The trio decide to take a trip to their late father/husband’s idyllically placed caravan, overlooking the sea. They befriend the holiday park caretaker Lias, (Daniel Mays), his unhinged sister Lilah (Billie Piper) and her daughter Miranda (Bella Ramsey).
A family in the midst of their own drama. This is a portrait of modern Britain seen through the eyes of a family in crisis.
Two For Joy will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sony, TalkTalk, Vubiquity and BT.
