Robyn Malcolm and Peter Mullan (‘Top of the Lake’) star in this fascinating New Zealand series about a woman who loses everything when she accuses her husband of a sexual crime.
The life of Penny, a middle-aged high school teacher, is turned upside down when she accuses her husband Phil of a sexual crime against her daughter Grace’s teenage friend, and no one believes her. Five years later, the man returns to New Zealand and moves in with Grace and her grandson, reopening wounds that seemed to have healed. Tireless in her quest to prove his guilt once again, an increasingly alienated Penny will be forced to choose what is more important: the truth or her relationship with her daughter.
Robyn Malcolm won the Best Actress Award in the International Panorama section of the Séries Mania Festival for this anti-heroine, ready to do anything, reminiscent of Frances McDormand in Olive Kitteridge or Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown. A series about the weight of truth, created by Malcolm herself along with screenwriter Dianne Taylor, which has become one of the season’s sensations.
