A PLACE BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS
A message from the past draws five former students into a Nepalese re-union with their mysterious flat-mate. Each will be forced to rediscover who they are and what they might become across the barriers of ethnicity and sexuality.

HALLOWED TURF
Gerard loves football but sadly has none of the necessary skills needed to be selected for school or six-a-side teams. The solution – train to become a referee. Unfortunately there’s one more obstacle to overcome…his surname. As he gets to officiate at bigger matches the volume of voices in the crowds singing grows: “Here comes Pratt, the twat in black!”
