Branded a thief and a liar, Jude imagines the hardships that surround him are the workings of an evil troll that lives in a cave across the harbour. When Jude’s father is sent to prison, Jude takes refuge with a recluse named Alfreda who nurtures his imagination, but warns of using it as a means of escape. But when Jude’s father is released, he turns Jude against Alfreda with rumours of her involvement in Jude’s mother’s death. Trailer: https://vimeo.com/104951825
