Black Pond

The papers called the Thompson family murderers. They say it was the only decent thing to do. Why did they invite a stranger to their home, and when he died bury him in the woods?

Like many British mockumentaries, this is a slow-burner punctuated with dry witty humor. I would have liked it better if I was working on more sleep.
