Britannia Waves the Rules Quiet House, TheBritannia Waves the Rules
An arresting and angry look at conflict and its effect on soldiers returning home to a world they no longer know how to cope with, and a society that doesn't know how to cope with them. Carl doesn't fit in at home. He doesn't fit in anywhere. When he signs up for the Army, he sees it as a way out of his life in Blackpool. But the Army takes him to Afghanistan. And when he comes home, it's not as a war hero but as a changed man.

Synopsis:
It's passing on your thoughts, your personality, a part of yourself, your DNA. If we don't do that what are we? We're just dust. Jess and Dylan are in love. They want a family. That's all they have ever wanted. When diagnosed with infertility, this ordinary couple find themselves on an extraordinary journey. They enter the world of IVF treatment where intimacy is replaced by injections. Forced to fight for the family they so desperately want, they put their faith in science and their relationship through the ultimate test. An exploration into infertility and the taboo that surrounds it, The Quiet House is a funny, moving and unswervingly honest love story, inspired by true events.
