Show of Hands
2008, English. Directed by Anthony McCarten.
Jess is a solo mother and reluctant parking warden. Tom is a self-obsessed greetings cards salesman with an addiction to competitions who will do anything to win.

As the sleepless days wear by, what price will they pay for winning this competition?
