Synopsis/Details
Natalie hasn’t a clue what she’s doing and she’s fed up of trying to hide it. Rejected from film school and having sold her camera for weed, Natalie arrives at this moment, a reluctant care nurse with half a diploma and 20 grand of student debt, on the doorstep of Four Acres Residential, a dead-end care home in Suburban London, a place with problems even more exaggerated than her own. Keen to take her mind off her messy mental state and prove her value, Natalie tries to cure the home of its collective depression while a trio of octogenarian mean girls tries to marry her off, a feminist spinster pushes her to pursue her dreams and a couple of horny colleagues just plain try it on. Amidst bingo outings, cupcake fundraisers and flirtations, Natalie finds that even if she can’t 'do' everyone, she can definitely do herself.

The Writer: Laura Tucker

Creative writer based in Taipei, originally from the UK. I write comic fiction and coming-of-age stories about young women struggling to overcome crippling self-doubt. It's a whole mood. I get my inspiration from the likes of Martin McDonagh and Orwell to Tarantino and Charlie Brooker. I'm rarely patriotic but, to me, dark British comedy - Peep Show, Green Wing and Black Mirror - will always reign supreme! Go to bio
