Contents/Summary

Summary

A disconcerting documentary about end-stage liver disease and alcoholism. The film presents the story of four alcohol abusers as they undergo treatment for their addiction in Gillingham hospital. - Vanda, aged 43; Mark, 29; Nigel, 49 and Toni, 26. Their drinking has produced horrible physical symptoms, devastating mental problems and destroyed their closest relationships. The film also steps into the intimate lives of the protagonists and exposes the demons that drove them to drink. The fact that two of the four died during filming is grim testimony to the scourge of alcoholism.
