成人快手

A topical drama about how living in enforced isolation can lead to the forging of new relationships, and to the revitalisation of old ones.

It starts with a skinny slip of paper posted through Nina鈥檚 letter box:
Dear Neighbour. My name is Max. I am almost 15 years old and I live at number 76 of this road. My school has been shut and I am free to do shopping for anyone who needs it. Just ring me on the number below.

Nina鈥檚 first instinct is to bin the note. She鈥檚 not hugely bothered about the neighbours. The younger people who鈥檝e moved onto the street in recent years are very different from her. They鈥檙e smarter, richer. They have well-spoken kids with names like Max.

But life is tricky in isolation. Nina鈥檚 husband Frank is ill. Maybe it鈥檚 the virus, maybe鈥檚 it鈥檚 just a bad cold, they can鈥檛 really tell.

Nina knows the rule is that she must stay indoors. And they don鈥檛 have anyone else. So Nina gives Max a call. The next day, he leaves a first bag of shopping outside her hall door.

Told through phone calls and an audio diary that Nina is updating daily, the drama follows the relationship that develops between Max and Nina through the first weeks of enforced isolation.

As the story unfolds, we come to realise that Nina is making the audio diary for a particular, special person.
