In this heartwarming comedy drama recent retiree Sally offers her spare room to a 22-year-old lodger, but will their unlikely friendship disrupt more than Sally’s daily crosswords?
A heartwarming comedy-drama about intergenerational friendship and facing life’s upheavals.
60-something year old Sally Turner is about to retire and has made no plans, telling everyone she just wants some peace and quiet. But when 22 year old Lizzie Fisher, heartbroken and struggling to move out of her ex’s flat, interviews for Sally’s job, Sally impulsively offers her the spare room.
Desperate to avoid her own lack of direction, Lizzie focuses on helping Sally find retirement activities. As both women bond through wild swimming, art classes and walks across the Peaks it becomes clear that these new exciting hobbies are just distractions. Something isn’t quite right with Sally. She seems to be forgetting things and that’s not all Sally is hiding.
