In this intimate kitchen sink drama - a genre in which he excels - Mike Leigh paints a sharp but honest portrait of a deeply unhappy wife and mother. Marianne Jean-Baptiste brings Pansy to life in a peerless performance that has won her multiple awards.

Pansy is a furious woman and constantly argues with everyone around her. In the supermarket, at the doctor's, and even her own husband and son cannot escape her outbursts. No one can please her. Pansy's mental and physical pain leave a heavy mark on those around her. The only one who can see through her hard exterior and help her is her sister Chantelle. Chantelle is usually positive and, together with her daughters, is a complete opposite of Pansy and her family.
