"A genre-defying, emotional tour de force, THE LIVING AND THE DEAD is the critically acclaimed psychodrama about an English family dynasty gasping its last cursed breath. Close to bankruptcy Ex-Lord Donald Brocklebank (Roger Lloyd Pack, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is forced to sell the sprawling mansion he lives in with his wife and son. Lady Nancy Brocklebank (Kate Fahy) has taken seriously ill and Donald must now arrange for a family nurse to come and care for her—much to the disappointment of his schizophrenic shut-in son James (Leo Bill, 28 Days Later). James would like nothing more than to prove to his father that he is a responsible adult. In a misguided attempt to do so, James tragically locks Nurse Mary out of the house. As the stress of looking after an ailing patient increases, James' own mental condition worsens and his ability to care for his mother diminishes along with his ability to tell fantasy from reality."
