Soldier Bee (NR)

synopsis

Jodie Baxter is a Captain returned home from Afghanistan, scarred both physically and on a deep psychological level. She struggles to reconnect with her husband and begins to realize the distance between herself and her child. In the middle of moving out of their Service Family Accommodation, Jodie escapes to her one place of solace, a hotel where she resides to be free and remember the past. It is there she notices and becomes obsessed with a couple, an abusive older man and a young prostitute who he humiliates and debases. Following them back to their room, Jodie enters into the situation and it is through an extreme act of violence, lust and in her eyes 'protection' that she has a revelation concerning what she has experienced.
