Description

Ewan McGregor stars in this adaptation of Alexander Trocchi's novel.

Whilst travelling on a barge between Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1954, drifter Joe (McGregor) and his boss Les (Peter Mullan) discover a woman's corpse in the water and Joe pulls her out.

On the surface, Joe does not appear to be distressed by the situation - even as a police investigation is opened - and gets on with his work on the barge.

But his behaviour starts to become erratic when he embarks on an affair with Les's wife Ella (Tilda Swinton), and flashbacks reveal his link to the deceased woman, Cathie Dimly (Emily Mortimer).
