About The Living and the Dead:
When his mother dies, Nathan Appleby and wife Charlotte return to the family estate in an attempt to revitalize the farm that is the lifeblood of the local community. The BBC says when Harriet (Tallulah Rose Haddon), “… a vulnerable teenage girl is brought to Nathan, seemingly possessed by a terrifying spirit, he cannot leave her to suffer.” Here is more from The BBC:
Nathan is a pioneering doctor who has worked at the forefront of the emerging science of psychology. He’s an expert in mapping the dark places of the mind. Nathan believes there is always a rational or scientific explanation to be found for life’s mysteries. So though Harriet’s case is disturbing, Nathan must use every psychological technique he has to find a way to cure her. But what if Nathan is wrong – what if it’s not an illness of the mind? Could Harriet actually be haunted?
