Some of the most claustrophobic thrillers of cinema history have taken place in sparse, unfamiliar locales. Something about being the fish out of water, the stranger living amidst things stranger still, lends itself to narratives about being victimised by your own state of mind.
Gozo, Miranda Bowen's directorial debut, endeavors to capture that feeling of crushing isolation and paranoia that comes from becoming the outsider in a place seemingly unwilling to provide the escape you desire. Lucille (Ophelia Lovibond) and Joe (Joseph Kennedy) have emigrated to the titular Gozo after Joe's ex-girlfriend - having discovered the new relationship - kills herself, but they soon realise that things aren't going to be that easy.
The couple, more in love than ever on the journey to their new home, find that their guilt and trauma from their part in the event isn't something so easily pushed aside,...

Lucille and Joe have moved to Gozo, a tiny island in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Malta. They have a nice car, a steady income, a beautiful farmhouse with breathtaking views and a swimming pool. They seem to have it all. But when a young tourist goes...
