“Reach up into the sky... And stop everything turning. Make time stop. Enough for you to be brave... Then let it all spin again”
On a farm in the middle of nowhere, sisters Becky and Anna try to hold their family together after the death of their mother. Time is always moving somewhere – but here it's very quiet. When they discover a stranger wandering aimlessly across the land, the three establish an unlikely partnership in their determination to survive.
Gundog is in parts very very funny. Humour is set against such genuine bleakness and there’s no attempt to reconcile the emptiness and grief with the gleefully juvenile hilarity. They both just exist: deal with it. Exeunt Magazine
