Synopsis
Colleen and Elsie are next-door neighbours. 80-year-old Elsie depends on cursory, slapdash visits from an overstretched home carer but doesn’t make a fuss. Seeing the lack of care Elsie is receiving from so-called professionals, Colleen takes it upon herself to care for her, a role that brings meaning and purpose to her life. Over time, a friendship grows until the arrival of Elsie’s resentful, guilt-ridden son stirs up tensions.
“Two bungalows with a shared partition, a dog, and a couple of Oscar nominees at the top of their formidable games: Paul Andrew Williams’s pared-back and bruising three-hander is a realist drama with deep undercurrents that whirlpool into a denouement you will not see coming.” Phil de Semlyen, Time Out
“This initially subdued, superbly acted story of an unlikely connection takes a savage and unsettling tonal swerve in the final act. The latest from Paul Andrew Williams will not be for everyone, but it is a chokingly tense commentary on the precarious nature of community.” Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
