Mild-mannered Richard (Eddie Marsan, HAPPY GO LUCKY) enjoys dressing up as a Viking at the weekend to engage in battle re-enactments. His wife Cath (Jessica Hynes, SPACED) doesnt. When he misses his father-in-laws funeral because of yet another battle, Richards wife decides that enough is enough and calls for a separation period. Cut deeper than any broadsword by her actions, Richard must find the hero within if he is to win her back! Faintheart also features Ewen Bremner (TRAINSPOTTING) as Richards best friend, a Trekkie caught between Valhalla and Vulcan. Developed from the My Movie Mashup project on MySpace, users were involved in selecting the project, adding to the script and even being cast in it.
