Speeding through the Moroccan desert to attend an old friend’s lavish weekend party, wealthy Londoners David and Jo Henninger (Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain) are involved in a tragic accident with a local teenage boy. Arriving late at the grand villa with the debauched party raging, the couple attempts to cover up the incident with the collusion of the local police. But when the boy’s father arrives seeking justice, the stage is set for a tension-filled culture clash in which David and Jo must come to terms with their fateful act and its shattering consequences.
From writer/director John Michael McDonagh (Calvary, The Guard) and also starring Matt Smith, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbey Lee, Christopher Abbott, Marie Josee-Croze, Said Taghmaoui, Mourad Zaoui and Ismael Kanater, The Forgiven will have you lavishing in the opulence one moment and gripping your seat the next, as a master storyteller unravels this intriguing tale.
