Spoilers ahead
Ben Marshall is a seventeen-year-old boy navigating a troubled home life, where his father Robert is a well-meaning but quietly distracted vicar with a passion for birds, and his mother Laura dominates the household with a stern, religious fervor that scolds emotional needs and governs every move. Laura’s faith and control shape Ben’s days: he is deprived of a mobile phone, kept away from peers his age, and even his driving lessons seem to serve a larger purpose—fueling Laura’s hidden life and the distance between them. Amid the friction at home, Ben channels his feelings into writing poems for a girl named Sarah from the church, hoping for some tenderness, but Sarah’s response is coolly dismissive, leaving Ben more isolated than ever.
