The Living

Awakening from an alcohol-induced blackout, Teddy discovers he has severely beaten his wife, Molly. As he seeks her forgiveness, she struggles with a possible future together. Absent a father’s protection, her brother's humiliation over not being able to defend his sister quickly turns to hate. Redemption, revenge, forgiveness, inhumanity interweave in an ill-fated tale of life and unforeseen circumstances.

My take

A raw, unflinching examination of violence's aftermath and the possibility of redemption. For viewers drawn to intimate character dramas that don't look away from hard truths—where forgiveness and revenge become equally possible futures.
