Fish Tank

A powerful and contemporary coming of age story, from the director of Red Road.

Fish Tank is the story of Mia (Katie Jarvis), a volatile 15-year-old, who is always in trouble and who has become excluded from school and ostracised by her friends. One hot summer's day her mother (Keirston Wareing) brings home a mysterious stranger called Connor (Michael Fassbender) who promises to change everything and bring love into all their lives. Touching on the themes of her Academy Award winning short Wasp, Fish Tank is an original and unsettling tale for our age.
