Ben Marshall is a seventeen-year-old with a gentle sensibility who grows up under the care of his father, Robert, a vicar obsessed with birds, and his mother Laura, Mirto Alikaki, a woman whose charitable deeds and devout faith mask a controlling streak that keeps Ben isolated from peers and even basic freedoms like a mobile phone. Her firm grip extends to steering Ben’s life around her own needs, including a driven, clandestine romance with Peter, a young curate who plays Jesus in the church pageant she directs. The tension between warmth and domination threads through Ben’s days, shaping his wishes and his self-worth.
