Onward and Sideways
DirectorJohn Madden
“Chronicles a touching story about two people with lots in common — a sense of humour, a love of dance, and Parkinson’s.”
Set and filmed in North Norfolk, Rhys plays Tony Evans, the deputy head of a local primary school. Laura stars as Emma Dretzin, a pianist, composer and single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives: on the same morning, they are both confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
