Set in present day London, Jackie (Nadine Marshall) is pregnant and knows it’s not her husband’s (Idris Elba). She says she hasn’t slept with anybody else, now she doesn’t know if she is losing her mind. Communication, trust and intimacy are at the heart of this warm, fearless family drama as Jackie struggles to explain news of her pregnancy. Over the course of a year the film follows Jackie, husband Mark and their 11 year old son JJ (Kai Francis Lewis) as this ordinary family struggles for answers as accusations start to fly.
Debbie Tucker Green’s extraordinary film deftly plays with the notion of an Immaculate Conception in London today. Winner of The Big Screen Award at Rotterdam International Film Festival and nominated in the London Film Festival Best First Feature Competition 2014, Variety say "Offering a fine showcase to a very fine cast Idris Elba and Nadine Marshall excel in Debbie Tucker Green's oblique, engrossing psychodrama" while Cineuropa note that Tucker Green “gives a masterfully naturalistic space to her actors and they reward her with stellar performances. The family is just a family. The film is just high drama, and doesn’t rely on simple tricks.”
Second Coming will be released in UK cinemas on 5th June.
