AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Dan is in love with Leanne. They were born on the same day - 19th June 1960. They eat together. They live together. They steal together. When Dan's love is suddenly ripped away from him, he is reduced to savagery. The past is not a dead thing, but may return, like a hunter, to follow us for a time.'

Notes

  • In interviews, Amiel Courtin-Wilson emphasises that although the two protagonists play characters with their own names (and, to some extent, their own histories), the film should not be watched as fact or as documentary, but as fiction.
