The Film

Oona, a young woman dealing with the loss of her mother, reaches out to a stranger: Mani, a homeless man, whom she invites to stay in her garden shed. Despite the space between them, Oona and Mani gradually form an unusual intimacy. This delicate film, set on the south coast of England, explores themes of responsibility, friendship and human vulnerability.
