Among the Missing

A pregnant woman, believed killed in a bridge accident in the Scottish Highlands, seizes her chance to disappear from her uncaring husband. Determined to safeguard her babys future and reinvent herself, she befriends illegal immigrant Silva, whose husband and daughter, she alone knows, have died in her place. As the bridge is rebuilt, the two women build a precarious existence in a makeshift home by the river. While Silva waits for her familys return and the pregnant woman awaits the birth of her child, they are helped by a boatman whose devotion to them masks his guilt for a past disaster. Each having retreated from the world, seeking an elusive peace of mind, the three exiles conjure an unstable mix of trust and distrust, compounded by love and jealousy. Soon the tension in their uneasy triangle mounts unbearablyand then it breaks.
