Working from a superb script by BAFTA-nominated British writer Joe Barton, Shalom-Ezer has crafted a love story filled with passion and truth, against a backdrop of one of the most polemical issues of our time. Mercy brazenly flouts the unwritten rule of fraternising with the enemy and approaches the painfully shy Lucy, the scene is set for a heartwrenching love affair that threatens to shatter everything Lucy believes in, but which could ultimately set her free. Protest, Lucy’s eye is drawn to Mercy (Mara), from the opposite ‘camp’ (people who come and support the executions taking place). Their destination: whichever federal prison is due to execute a death row inmate that night, so that they can join with their fellow protestors and advocate peacefully outside the institution’s walls for the abolition of the death penalty. Lucy (Page) spends her weekends travelling around the Midwest in a battered RV alongside her younger brother Ben and with older sister Martha behind the wheel.
