Between Two Women

A Yorkshire milltown in 1957. Ellen Hardy is unhappily married but is close to her ten year old son, Victor. The family has recently moved house and Victor has started at a new school where Ellen has become friendly with his teacher, Kathy Thompson, who is keen to encourage him at art. As the friendship between the two women grows, Ellen's millworker husband, Hardy, feels increasingly alienated at home. Meanwhile, Ellen's sister Alice emigrates to Australia to start a new life and soon the Hardys go on a disastrous seaside holiday. Will Ellen - torn between her duties as a wife and mother and a fear of admitting her feelings for Kathy - also have the courage to break free emotionally and follow her destiny when she returns home? "The bleak industrial cities in the north of England have been the settings of many a gritty drama. With Between Two Women writer-director Steven Woodcock has made a notably lyrical film amid a grim setting" - Los Angeles Times Director: Steven Woodcock Producer: Steven Woodcock Executive Producer: Julie Woodcock Ellen Hardy : Barbara Marten, Kathy Thompson: Andrina Carroll BBC 2000 Musik : Io Credo
