Synopsis
Alter Ego
Alex, a quiet forty-something, leads an ordinary life until new neighbours move in. The husband is Alex’s perfect lookalike… except for one thing: he has hair. Alex sinks into a growing paranoia as he becomes preoccupied with this more charismatic, brilliant and accomplished mysterious double.
My Week with Maisy
Mrs Foster, a retired lady whose cup is half empty, is starting chemotherapy and is understandably anxious. The last thing she needs, is to have to share the treatment room with a 'know it all child' who wants to grow up to be a lesbian. But through their unexpected friendship, Maisy Jones gives Mrs Foster much more than just a glimmer of hope.
