Every Time I Close My Eyes, All I See Is You

This is a story about falling in love, friendship and not accepting your fate – there are three stories that combine to tell the broader story of an old man sat in a care home window, and the man who waves at him from the street.

The first story is about a year in the life of a man living through the pandemic – it’s about life changing and suddenly noticing the things around him, literally on the streets where he is now allowed to walk (as government mandated), that before he would never have noticed. It’s about making a new friendship with an elderly man through the first floor window of a care home.

The second story is set in the 1950s. It’s about a single evening where a man and woman fall in love on cold, dark, rainy night. It’s about meeting the person you hope you’ll spend the rest of your life with.

The final story is about a call centre worker accidentally cold calling someone over-and-over again. It’s about feeling trapped, needing change, but not necessarily knowing how to achieve that.

=======================

WHY NOW?

It’s about growing old and how we treat and interact with people who have reached end of life care. It’s about loneliness and self-doubt. It’s about inter-generational friendship. It’s about love, loss and needing help when you find yourself caught in a hole with no way out.
