Commercial opportunities in the United States are gradually drying up for Rory (Jude Law), a commodity broker, so he moves with his family to his native England with its promise of a lucrative new beginning. Could the sumptuous but secluded mansion outside London become a real home for them? And what price are they prepared to pay in order for Rory to secure his dream contract, a deal that would propel him to the highest echelons of society? This unsettling, aesthetically precise drama The Nest (United Kingdom – Canada, 2020) by director Sean Durkin examines man’s inflated attitude to wealth and is significantly set in the era of the thriving economic liberalism of Reagan’s America.
