Storyline

Helen Alving leads an outwardly contented life. On the eve of the 10th anniversary of her husband's death, she is about to open an orphanage as a memorial to him. To mark this occasion, her bohemian painter son Oswald has returned from Paris. Helen plans to take the opportunity to tell Oswald the truth about his father. But ghosts of the past erupt during an eventful evening, bringing the facade of civilised family life crashing down.

Worth seeing, not just for its message, but also for the intriguing way it uses documentary tools to tell a true story.

Veteran documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield makes an impressive leap to features with Ghosts.

Broomfield has great visual style, exposing-Britain's ugliness and beauty at every turn.

The fields and farmlands are in the prettiest countryside, cellphones provide a connection home, and the support and camaraderie the immigrants share makes it all bearable.
