From the director
I was super excited to get this script in my inbox as it's moving, emotional and very funny. It reminds me of my own mother in some aspects and thus struck a chord. Underlying the humour is the very real aspect of elderly loneliness. The quality of the script attracted some very profile actresses to take up the roles for which we were very grateful.
