A Child In Time - The Child In Time (DVD)

The life of the successful children's book author and happy family man Stephen Lewis is one day completely unexpectedly completely out of joint. One minute he's strolling through the supermarket as he often does with his four-year-old daughter Kate on a normal shopping trip, and the next minute the little girl has disappeared without being found. For the parents, the world comes crashing down. In their desperate search for a meaning to life after the nightmarish incident, their marriage moves inexorably toward the abyss. Three years later, Julie, Kate's mother, has moved to the coast to find a calmer way of life, but Stephen still fails to let go of his restless and desperate search. Only when he visits his closest friends in the country does he slowly dare to take his first steps forward again - but the road to coping, which he is only just beginning, seems interminable.

In" A Child at a Time," Julian Farino succeeds in creating a sensitive and at the same time heartbreaking production of the essentially human experience of love, loss and the power of the unpredictable. Screenwriter Stephen Butchard adapted the award-winning novel of the same name by successful author Ian McEwan for the film version. Oscar-nominated film star Benedict Cumberbatch ("Sherlock") shines in the leading role alongside Kelly Macdonald ("Boardwalk Empire"), Stephen Campbell Moore ("The History Boys") and Saskia Reeves ("Luther"). During the English premiere, more than 5.7 million TV viewers watched the gripping drama on BBC.
