In a tower block on the Isle of Dogs live the family: the wanton mother, the banjo playing granny, the acid house crazed son, his hallucinating girlfriend and the pyromaniac daughters. The father has been spoken to; he has a mission, the rains are coming...
"The idea for the film came from a dream, a man building his escape. Noah's story from the Bible provided the structure. Then it occurred to me what would happen if God chose the wrong man? Then it occurred to me what if there was no God.
This film was only made possible by the amazing generosity and skill of a lot of people, I send my love to them, all. Snogs all round." (Richard Heslop)
