This strange little film from writer-director Bryan O’Neil is set in a block of flats where a young graphic novelist (Mirren Burke) spies on her neighbour (Rollo Weeks), who is looking after the grieving widow of a friend (Claire Garvey). She clearly fancies him and takes advice from the ancient widow (Sylvia Syms), who expects people to speak at the chair her husband sat in and thus communicate with the dead. This is what you would call a chamber piece, which exists on creating atmosphere rather than much of a plot. It is nicely acted but, when all is said and done, would seem too stretched to be a feature though good enough to be an intriguing short.
