      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.

      Plot


      When a young pregnant woman named Rosie Jones 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, the village vicar of Little Wallop, is very busy writing the perfect sermon for a Church of England convention. He's completely oblivious to his family's problems: his wife, Gloria, has unfulfilled emotional/sexual needs and starts an affair with her golf instructor, Lance; his daughter, Holly, has a growing sex drive and physical maturity and is constantly changing boyfriends; and his son, Petey, is being bullied at school.
      New housekeeper, Grace Hawkins, becomes involved in their lives, learning about their problems: neighbour Mr Brown's Jack Russell terrier Clarence barks non-stop, preventing Gloria from sleeping; Petey's bullies; and Gloria's burgeoning illicit affair.
      Grace sets out to solve the problems in her own way by killing Clarence as well as Mr Brown, sabotaging the brakes on the bullies' bicycles which injures one of them and killing Lance with an iron outside the house, for videotaping Holly undressing one night.
      As Walter prepares the sermon for the conference, Grace suggests adding humour. Also, seeing he has let his relationship slide due to his devotion to God, she shows him he can love his wife and God by looking at the erotic references in the Song of Solomon. As the problems in the household seem to gradually clear, Walter leaves for his convention.
      Gloria and Holly see Grace's photo on the news, showing her release and previous offences, and they begin to realise what she's done. It is revealed that 'Grace' is Gloria's long-lost mother Rosie Jones, who's come to meet her. After briefly processing the flood of information, Gloria asserts that when having a problem with someone, one cannot just kill them. Grace mentions this is the point she and her doctors could never agree on. Despite their disagreements, Gloria tries to help Grace with Lance's body, but cannot handle it. Over a cup of tea, the three women decide not to tell Walter or Petey any of what has happened.
      Nagging congregant Mrs Parker visits to discuss the problem of the "church's flower arranging committee". Grace, erroneously believing Mrs Parker is about to turn them in for her crimes, attempts to hit her with a frying pan but Gloria stops her. Mrs Parker, shocked, has a heart attack and dies. Walter returns from the convention just then and sees Mrs Parker's body, but not realizing she is dead. Soon after, Grace leaves the family when order is seemingly restored among them.
      Walter talks to Bob and Ted, the two waterworks employees who have been working quietly in the background on the vicarage's pond during recent events. They advise the pond has blue green algae in it which means there is the possibility of the pond poisoning people as the pond is connected to the local area's water table, meaning the pond needs to be drained. Remembering Grace's victims' bodies are in the pond, Gloria, with a strained smile, offers them some tea.
      The film ends with an underwater shot depicting the bodies that had been placed in the pond, including the recently added Bob and Ted.
