Adapted from Sarah Perry's 2016 novel of the same name, the narrative charts the story of recent widow Cora Seaborne (Claire Danes), who uproots her London life and heads to the Essex coastline upon hearing rumours of a mythical serpent preying on a local community.

Juliette Binoche plays a middle-class woman who exposes the lives of the working class in Between Two Worlds, but the film also investigates the moral ambiguity inherent within this proposition.
Humanitarian crises rage, social uprisings break out; the turmoil of the modern world asks us to stop and consider if we’re living up to our potential as a ‘good person’.

Dozens of celebrity judges and guest stars pop up over the course of the mega-hit series, and hundreds of wannabe models try out for the chance to be crowned as America's greatest runway-walker. No matter where they're from, what they've done, or how fami...
