    A surrealist, psychological drama about a mild-mannered woman whose daily encounters with her increasingly unrestrained neighbour instigate a drastic change in how she lives with cancer.

    Miranda, a mild-mannered woman with impeccable taste and an immaculate appearance, is living with lung cancer. A diagnosis that is invisible to all but her. As her disease progresses, she finds solace sitting on a bench in the courtyard outside her London mansion block with her charismatic friend Gus, who has a penchant for the pleasures in life, not least his daily fix of freshly baked pastries.

    Each day, they meet and watch their neighbours through the windows of the building as if they were a quirky array of characters on a TV show – the young woman intent on making the perfect cocktail, the young man struggling to learn how to cook, the little girl left to play alone and the middle-aged couple that can barely stand to be in the same room as each other.  Their friendship grows as they learn more about each of the residents and, in the process, learn more about each other.

    But one day, after a neighbour barely acknowledges her, Miranda begins to realise that Gus is purposefully trying to overshadow her, and their relationship starts to deteriorate. Soon, what was once charming becomes infuriating and Gus’s overbearing nature forces Miranda to snap.
