Keeping Mum

Keeping Mum is a 2005 British black comedy film co written and directed by Niall Johnson and starring Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Maggie Smith and Patrick Swayze. It was produced by Isle of Man Film, Azure Films and Tusk Productions, and was released in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2005, by Summit Entertainment. Plot When a young pregnant woman named Rosie Jones (Emilia Fox) boards a train, her enormous trunk starts leaking blood in the luggage compartment. Questioned by the police about the dead bodies inside, Rosie calmly reveals they are her unfaithful husband and his mistress. Convicted of manslaughter, she is imprisoned in a unit for the criminally insane due to diminished responsibility. Forty-three years later, Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), the village vicar of Little Wallop, is very busy writing the perfect sermon for a convention. He's completely oblivious to his family's problems: his wife, Gloria (Kristin Scott Thomas), has unfulfilled emotional/sexual needs and starts an affair with her golf instructor, Lance (Patrick Swayze); his daughter, Holly (Tamsin Egerton), has a growing sex drive and physical maturity and constantly changes boyfriends without any reason; and his son, Petey (Toby Parkes), has been a victim of bullying at school for quite some time.
