Struck dumb by a dangerous cycle of depression and grief, Anne (Sarah-Jane Potts) attempts to shift her life by taking herself on a cheap holiday. She hopes to find peace, beauty and perspective, but on arrival she’s met with noise, squalor and danger! Forced to sleep rough in an unknown place, a chance encounter with another solo traveller (David Ganly) offers her an unexpected solution and a chain of surprising and often hilarious events unfold between these two strangers which will either heal them or cause them to crumble completely.

Signs of Life is the feature directorial debut of British actor Joseph Millson (Holby City, The Last Kingdom and Angel Has Fallen).

The film stars Sarah-Jane Potts (Kinky Boots, Waterloo Road, Holby City) and David Ganly (Moon Knight, Obituary).

Signs of Life won Best Feature at the London Independent Film Festival and Berlin Indie Film Festival.

 

SIGNS OF LIFE is in select cinemas from 5 September
