On the Backs of Others

Two mysterious strangers arrive in the village, just as news emerges from the forbidden Manor House that the reclusive master is dead. 

As ruthless developers threaten to destroy generations of tradition, a lavish social media wedding promises salvation through renovation and renewal. But dark truths are lurking beneath the village’s cosy facade. 

Long-buried secrets rise to the surface, exposing a multigenerational web of cruelty and complicity, and the villagers must decide whether they will continue to cling to the lies and illusions of the past, or expose painful memories to the light. 

A sharp, atmospheric exploration of privilege, power and the tragic price of progress.
