Paul Greengrass's debut feature is a drama set against the backdrop of the 1982 Falklands conflict. David Thewlis stars as Kevin Deakin, a young soldier failing to cope with the strain of war. Having gone missing presumed dead during the conflict, Kevin is given a hero's memorial service and much posthumous applause in his northern home town. But when he later turns up at the army barracks bedraggled and terrified, it becomes apparent that the truth behind his disappearance is less straightforward.
