The Wire

Quarantine
By Jeff Young. Milton Parker traipses the dismal streets of Rhyl putting leaflets through doors. He is scared of envelopes, of germs in mayonnaise, of letterboxes and pizza-delivery bikes. When he's nominated for the Pamphleteer of the Year award, Milton has to find a "Plus One". Doreen Wilson , a 73-year-old agoraphobic recluse, agrees to be his date. As they head towards the big night, determined to re-engage with the rest of humanity, will this unlikely pair take their place at last in a world where they are not afraid?
Music by Paul Simpson ; Producer/Director Kate McAII
