I Am

Nicola Coughlan stars in the latest instalment of Dominic Savage's drama anthology. Helen and Steve seem to have a loving relationship, but as Steve begins to consume misogynistic online porn and the rhetoric of the manosphere, their sexual dynamic shifts from mutual desire to coercive aggression. When Helen asserts her independence, Steve proves unable to reconcile his fantasy of dominance with a partner who refuses to submit.

Alone in a hotel room, Helen discovers she is pregnant, turning her newfound clarity on her relationship into a storm of urgency and fear. The days that follow become a terrifying unravelling, and when she tries to leave Steve, his façade collapses and he turns violent.
