Respectable Girls

Carys is newly separated, 27 and forced to move back into her parents' house and finds herself back where she was 10 years ago. No job, no boyfriend and no idea what to do next. While everyone around her manages to achieve Insta-filter perfection, "Rubbish Feminist" Carys soothes her broken heart with dramatic true crime podcasts - a soothing soundscape for her own grim reality. Writer-director Claire Fowler made a number of human rights-themed documentary films and took part in higly acclaimed Academy's Nicholl Fellowship and BFI London Film Festival’s feature filmmaking program and worked as shadow director on "Homeland", "Pose" and "Manifest".
