Blackbird
Running time: 1h 30min approx
At his workplace, 55-year-old Ray Brooks is visited by a young woman, 27-year-old Una Spencer. Fifteen years earlier, they had an abusive sexual relationship for three months when Una was twelve and Ray was forty; subsequently, Ray had been gaoled for three years for statutory rape.
Ray in shock and desperation takes Una to the office break room, where the two engage in a long and difficult confrontation involving Una's continuing struggles to understand and come to terms with the abuse and how this has affected her years after the event. The fearful Ray, who had tentatively begun to forget the past, parries her demanding questions and descriptions of her feelings and experiences, all the while uncertain of her intentions.
