Julie, Leo, & Tom

The Apple & The Tree

In Waltham Abbey in Essex we meet Julie, her son Tomor and his elder sister, Leonora.

Julie’s late husband Bill arrived in the UK as a refugee from the former Yugoslavia and was a kind and loving father who, over time, became gripped by a gambling addiction which ultimately caused him to take his own life in a terrifying way.

Leonora, Tom and Julie have all been through counseling since his death and want to remember the good and bad times and talk about their desires for their future without him.
