Period thriller Lapwing gets a trailer, poster and images

July 5, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release later this month, a trailer, poster and images have arrived online for director Philip Stevens period thriller Lapwing.

Set in 1555, the film centres on Patience, a young mute woman living in an isolated community in rural England as she begins a love affair with Rumi, the son of an Egyptian family in hiding, as they wait for illegal passage to Europe.

A mute young woman, Patience, from an isolated community in rural England in 1555, struggles with her controlling brother-in-law and leader, David, who is gradually unravelling after the failure of his idyllic community. The Egyptian Act has been passed, stipulating that all ‘gypsies’ must vacate England immediately and anyone found aiding them could be executed. In exchange for a fee, David agrees to help an Egyptian family who must stay a month on their land until a ship comes to take them away. The others in the community tolerate this decision, hoping it could lead them to a more prosperous life. But when Patience pursues an affair with one of the outsiders, she is thrust into a violent and vicious psychological battle with David, who sees her actions as a direct rebellion, and a threat to the power he desperately wants to maintain over the community.

Featuring in the cast of Lapwing are Hannah Douglas, Emmett J. Scanlan, and Sebastian De Souza.

Lapwing arrives on digital platforms on July 19th.
