A Gripping Story of Loneliness and Unlikely Friendship

Directed by Paul Andrew Williams, Dragonfly explores the complex and unsettling dynamics of contemporary British life. The narrative centers on Elsie (played by Blethyn), an 84-year-old pensioner living a solitary life who suffers a fall and strikes up an unexpected bond with her neighbor, Colleen (Academy Award nominee Andrea Riseborough).

Moved by the inadequate social care Elsie receives, Colleen steps in to help. However, growing suspicions from Elsie’s protective son, John (played by Line of Duty star Jason Watkins), introduce an atmosphere of mounting dread and psychological tension, ultimately leading to a devastating chain of events.
