Accessibility:

Joy (Max Eigenmann), an undocumented Filipina cleaner moving from house to house in London with her impetuous daughter Grace in tow, is saving up her meagre cash payments to get a visa and a more stable home for them both. Stuck in a roundabout of precarious employment, deportation fears and casual, constant put-downs by her employers, Joy cannot afford to stand still. A dreamy gig looking after a mansion and its bed-bound owner (David Hayman) turns out to be too-good-to-be-true when Joy starts suspecting the owner is being slowly poisoned… 

Writer-director Paris Zarcilla's debut film elegantly balances gothic horror and social drama, producing an unholy child of a film that provokes as much as it spooks.

Joy is a hard-working single mother who is struggling day-to-day, largely due to the fact she is an undocumented immigrant from the Philippines. Working as a cleaner whilst also being responsible for taking care of her cheeky young daughter, Grace, is beginning to take its toll on Joy, especially with the pressure of deportation looming. When Joy is offered the job by an upper-class woman named Katherine to look after her terminally ill uncle for a huge amount of money, she tentatively accepts but soon discovers that there may be ghastly intentions lurking under the surface of this seemingly normal situation. This social thriller uses horror elements explore the complex relationship between immigration and class in the United Kingdom whilst also focusing on the love and strength a mother has for her daughter.
