A black comedy full of unexpected tenderness from Kieran Hurley (writer of the 2019 smash-hit Mouthpiece) that explores the gulf between generations, the futility of blame culture, and how we have make things better for those who come after us. In Edinburgh's New Town, thirty-something Zara runs her own business: a brothel. Her newest client is her old teacher, and her colleague fears the inevitable ageing process. They're all convinced that the mess of the world around them isn't their fault. Soon discover that they have more in common than expected. Directed by Roxanna Silbert and starring Conleth Hill.
