Darkly comic, heart-warming drama by award-winning writer, Christine Entwisle.

Toots is an octogenarian living unhappily in a care home. She wants more outdoor days, she wants her allotment back and she wants to see her chickens.

Carol is sent to assess Toots. But Carol is menopausal and struggling with a variety of unhelpful symptoms.

When Carol forces open Toots' window to relieve a hot flush and then forgets to shut it, Toots makes a break for it.
