Charlotte Riley stars in a real-time comedy drama about a romantic weekend away thrown off course. By Claudine Toutoungi.

Steph’s supposed to be having a romantic weekend away with her boyfriend Matt. But he’s stuck in traffic. When a power cut in the holiday cottage catches her while on the phone to Finn, the voice behind VISUAL-EYEZ (an app for low vision users), Steph finds herself in a crisis that forces her to re-evaluate how capable she really is. 

Claudine Toutoungi's sharply observed, real-time comedy drama about skewed perspectives, mixed signals and significant others. 

Starring Charlotte Riley (Wuthering Heights, Peaky Blinders), Amit Shah (Happy Valley, The Witcher), Damien Molony (Being Human, Crashing), and Georgie Glen (Call the Midwife, The Crown).
