The Ones Below
Released 11 March 2016
Only when you lose someone utterly dear to you, utterly and totally dear, can you understand just how little we know. About death, about the soul, who we are.
Kate (Cl茅mence Po茅sy) and Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) are expecting their first baby. They are thirty-something, successful and affluent. All appears well on the surface but Kate harbours deeply rooted fears about her fitness to be a mother and her ability to love the child within.
One day another couple, Jon (David Morrissey) and Teresa (Laura Birn) move in to the apartment below. They become 鈥楾he Ones Below鈥� and are also expecting a baby. In contrast to Kate, Teresa is full of joy at the prospect of imminent motherhood.
Pregnancy brings the women together in shared confidences, as Kate becomes entranced by Teresa鈥檚 unquestioning celebration of her family-to-be. Until one night a joint dinner begins to reveal all is not as it seems with 鈥楾he Ones Below鈥� and a single tragic accident throws the couples into a nightmare of psychological terror.
