Skeletons

Davis and Bennett work for a firm. The job is this: they go to people's houses, open the cupboard, and bring out the secret hidden in that house. They can genuinely do it; the two stand at the cupboard, hook themselves up to a device that looks like a circuit breaker, and see inside. Then a job comes: the woman's husband disappeared eight years ago and her small daughter has not spoken since. That job brings out what each of them has been hiding too. Nick Whitfield directs the British film; ninety-four minutes, with Ed Gaughan as Davis, Andrew Buckley as Bennett and Jason Isaacs as their employer, the Colonel, and Paprika Steen and Tuppence Middleton in the cast. It is Whitfield's first feature and was named best British film at Edinburgh in 2010.
