Scottish Director Lynne Ramsay has carved out a career by uncovering the deeper and often-drearier sides of life. Best known for her debut feature Ratcatcher and her 2011 adaptation of novel We Need to Talk About Kevin, the filmmaker’s breakout moment was this 1998 short.

Winning her awards at Cannes Film Festival and the Scottish BAFTAs, the film tells the story of a deceitful father living a double life in the 1970s—crystallizing the working-class experience in Scotland at the time.
