A witty and heartfelt look at family life
when it doesn't work out quite as you imagined!
One birthday. Two unexpected guests. A lifetime of buried tensions.
As Carol gathers her fractured family to celebrate her son Andy’s 21st birthday,
old wounds resurface and carefully kept secrets begin to unravel.
Darkly funny, tender and unflinchingly honest, Rory Kinnear’s The Herd is a powerful portrait of love,
sacrifice and the ties that hold a family together - even when everything is falling apart.
