What is the Story of This Wide Night?
In This Wide Night, young former prison inmate Marie is back on the outside, living alone in a bleak UK apartment with little but a television for company. Her sequestered, isolated life is interrupted by an unexpected visit from Lorraine, her one-time cellmate, newly released after serving hard time for committing a violent crime. Both at loose ends as they try to assimilate into a society that has rejected them, Lorraine and Marie struggle to get comfortable in their “rehabilitated” skin—and struggle harder to leave the complicated ties which bind them back behind bars.
