Magpie
Synopsis: A negligent father makes an unwelcome appearance at his young son’s funeral, but the proceedings end when he drunkenly steals the coffin. With his estranged wife in tow, he has one last chance to connect with his family in this new take on the classic road film genre.
Shot on location in London, Cornwall and Price’s native Swansea without a script, Price instead opted to workshop scenes with the actors based on a carefully designed structure. What follows is a journey with no destination, just a desperate desire not to return.
