‘Like it or not Chrissie; trouble follows you about.’

This is a film about reverberations, about memory and about the echo of the past and the way it sounds in our present. It is also an evocation of childhood; a  slice of nostalgia for a way of life that many now see as lost. In a ‘Post-Brexit’ Britain nostalgia seems to have assumed the status of a national sentiment; a harking back to a time when things were so much better. But were they? We shouldn’t sugar coat the past, as sometimes, the truth is that things were devilish hard. And it’s important to remember that sometimes.

At the heart of this film is the sense of loss felt by Christine and Julie. Both Christine and Julie  are on a voyage of self-discovery, trying to rediscover the past and their journey since .

With the opening of the film Christine reflects on her relationship with her parents and ends up having to confront her own sense of self.  

This film had its first iteration as a play at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006.
