Eighty-four-year-old cellist Ceri (Richard Wilson) has lost his husband to cancer and his ability to play to a debilitating stroke. His dull life is spent in solitude, save for the interruptions of agency carers and the solace of his iPad. Seizing the opportunity that a night-time staff shortage brings, he uses an app to invite 20-year-old sex worker Iestyn to visit. To Ceri’s surprise, Iestyn is a violinist at a nearby conservatoire who is supporting himself through sex work. An appreciation of contemporary orchestral music instantly bonds them, but when it’s time to get down to business, we find Ceri looking for a very different experience to the one Iestyn had expected to provide.
