On The Line

On the Line (2023) is a British period thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Oliver Pearn and starring Victoria Lucie and Harriet Walters.

Alderney, Channel Islands, 1964. Telephone operator Agnes is halfway through an ordinary shift when she accidentally picks up a call not meant for her — and hears enough to know a woman is being held against her will. She passes it to the police. Case noted. But Agnes can't let it go, and she starts pulling threads herself, in a community where everyone knows everyone and that cuts both ways. Walters brings a quiet weight to her scenes that anchors the whole thing. A tight slow-burn with the feel of an early spy procedural — short enough to commit to in a single sitting.
