Synopsis
TERRY MULLIGAN is a middle aged builder, tasked this particular day with renovating an old Victorian house in the Hertfordshire countryside. Meanwhile we watch KAREN, comfort a younger Terry at age 8 at home while they grieve his brother, her son HARRY.
In the present day, Terry is extremely stressed, constantly receiving inaudible phone calls from MICHELLE, adding to his distress. Whilst removing the ancient floorboards Terry discovers a skeleton, he instantly feels an empathy with the skull. He removes it and converses with it as if it is an old friend he hasn't seen in a lifetime.
Karen forces unhealthy coping techniques onto Terry, such as personifying Harry's belongings, and not facing the grief head on.
The duo go to various locations during the day ending in a brothel. Terry's naivety to his insanity leads to an altercation in the brothel. Terry is beaten and separated from the skull.
Left in this vulnerable state he returns to his mother. To question why she never stopped his unhealthy habits of mourning. They reach a conclusion and console each other.
