Comedy featuring interweaving stories of seven households caught up in a property chain on moving day, each one dependent on the other.

This fairy-tale-like drama, based on a 1904 short story by American poet and feminist author Renée Vivien, tells two opposing versions of the same narrative: one told verbally by Pierre Lenoir, a male narrator at a Victorian dinner party; the other told visually through the behavior of an unnamed woman who meets him on a fantasy cargo boat. The intercutting of the two stories creates a tension between the different world views of the woman and the man.

An adaptation of Anne Fine's 1989 children's novel about a one-parent family.
