After her husband suffers a debilitating stroke, spirited Irish housewife Vanetia Casey (Maxine Peake, Silk) struggles to keep her family together in the wake of tragedy. Help comes in the form of American doctor Ted Fielding (Saturday Night Live's Will Forte), whose research grant for documenting the family's recovery process takes care of finances but also requires that the straight-laced doctor live with the chaotic Casey family for two months. Although Vanetia initially resents living under Ted's microscope, she soon finds comfort in his calming presence, while Ted grows surprisingly accustomed to Vanetia's dynamic, unpredictable personality. As the two explore their bond within their unique situation, they discover that a new family is beginning to take shape around them. Uplifting and authentic, Academy Award?-nominated* director Steph Green's RUN & JUMP is an unexpected, unconventional romance about human connection and the power of acceptance.
