Scrubbers
Buy ticketsMai Zetterling draws inspiration from Ken Loach in her raw and unvarnished portrayal of women behind bars.
When two young women escape from an open borstal, their lives take a dramatic turn. Annetta is desperately searching for her daughter, who is being raised in a convent, while Carol has a bold plan to get recaptured to reunite with her girlfriend Doreen – only to face betrayal and heartbreak. When Annetta and Carol’s paths cross again at the closed borstal, their relationship has shifted, and mistrust and a thirst for revenge drive Annetta to challenge Carol at every step. Featuring outstanding performances from Amanda York, Kathy Burke, and Chrissie Cotterill, Scrubbers delivers an unforgettable and gritty cinematic experience about resilience and the bonds of friendship forged in the most unexpected places.
