Review of After Love

A woman in Dover grieves for the death of her husband, who dies suddenly in the first minutes of the film. She's an English convert to Islam, who has assimilated into her Pakistani husband's life and culture. But she discovers after his death that his work on a cross-channel ferry allowed him to have a second  family in Calais, and that his mistress has a son - her child in the Dover family has died. So she goes to Calais to find them, and is mistaken for a cleaner, and before she can explain she's doing the cleaning as the family prepare to move to another house.

It's painful to watch, but very well done, especially the relationship that develops between the English woman and the French son.
