The story sees Maud’s life unravel as she develops an obsession with her patient Amanda. Maud believes that God is communicating with her throughout the day and becomes convinced that she needs to save her soul before she dies.

The movie’s producers are Andrea Cornwell and Oliver Kassman.

Andrea said: “Lots of different towns were scouted, but Scarborough had the cinematic scale that we felt would be fantastic on film.”

Oliver said: “We filmed in a variety of locations, but mostly along the seafront promenade, there is a very dramatic final scene that we filmed on the beach itself just a couple of days before Christmas.
