Logline: Mary is a new single mother on the brink of destruction, longing for freedom and dreaming of the past, sometimes the fall back to reality comes at a painful cost. 

This comes from fellow Screen Academy Scotland student and all round film enthusiast Neil Rolland and his film wreaks of those 80's public awareness adverts minding absentminded parents about the dangers of red hot irons and scolding mugs of coffee. The film carries an unnerving mood which is high on tension building and dread.

Best Bit: With a large cast of youngsters and sensitive themes being explored, this has been well produced and well put together. 

Worst Bit: Turn the baby off!

Final thought: Where's the 'no children were harmed' disclaimer??
