Synopsis/Details

Edgar, damaged by a childhood trauma and suffering from migraines and auditory hallucinations, clashes with his two older sisters.

Feeling dismissed by Ida and smothered by Ivy, Edgar opts to live like a recluse in the garden shed writing music and tending the garden he loves.

Lured from his sanctuary, he starts a budding friendship with the new Infant-School Daycare teacher, Alice.

When the village competes for the title of 'A Best Kept Village', Edgar's garden, his shed, his music manuscripts, his friendship with Alice and even his sanity, are all put in jeopardy.
