Nightshade

A mysterious and haunting film, it is set in England in the not far off future. A family escape from the city with its pollution and urban chaos for a peaceful holiday in the country, where they stay in an old cottage. The location is idyllically peaceful, deep in ancient woodland, and the father hopes it may provide an opportunity for members of the family to settle some of their problems: the marriage seems on the point of breaking down, and the teenage daughter and her younger brother have both been in trouble. However, the children experience supernatural phenomena which focus attention on ecology and the future of the Earth.
