Belonging
Happily married Jess (Brenda Blethyn - Saving Grace, Little Voice) and Jacob (Kevin Whately - Inspector Morse, The English Patient) live in a riverside house with Jacob's elderly relatives, "the Oldies." Jess enjoys caring for them all until the day that Jacob pops out for a pint - and never returns. Left reeling when the news comes that Jacob has left her for a younger woman, Jess's once contented life becomes a hurt tangle of duty, rage and self-doubt through which she must now navigate to find her balance and her true self. Based on the novel by acclaimed author, Stevie Davies, Belonging is a painfully perceptive, moving drama full of the endearing, demanding and abusive people who inhabit Jess's world. Striving to keep her dignity while coping with family burdens and her own wounded desperation, Jess's story is a glorious depiction of the limits of human endurance - and the flexibility for change.
