Wife and mum Betty has had enough.
Bogged down by a 30-year listless marriage, on the morning of her son’s wedding she takes refuge in the attic of her home where she relives her long-lost youth and a passionate love affair that she’d almost forgotten.
Now surrounded by ghosts from her past, Betty finds herself torn between a man she doesn’t love, a son about to fly the nest and the memories of a man she shared a passionate affair with.
A story of family, love and Leeds, that challenges the notion of what it means to be the family matriarch.
