Written, Directed & Produced by Miranda Lapworth Love isn’t always easily understood. Least of all by those suffering from it. Lou and Jack have a long history with their own jokes and silly games evolved over the years. Jack counters Lou’s spikiness and morose pessimism at her recent diagnosis with good humour and midnight feasts. His greatest challenge is guiding his own birthday dinner through the choppy waters of Lou and their daughter, Mariana’s, antagonism, cheerfully abetted by Mariana’s partner, Isobel. But their world of banter and brave resolve comes crashing down on a rainy night; lifelong bitterness and anger finally boil over and hidden truths creep into the light.
