SET A verandah/deck/patio that looks out over a garden.
Auckland, New Zealand, 1979. A cheerfully heavy-drinking divorcee spots her former neighbor's daughter taking a peek around the old neighborhood, having just returned after years of aimlessness abroad. As they sit down for an awkward drink, their hilarious forced pleasantries soon peel away, revealing the long-buried longings and regrets they both carry with them.

Reviews
"Ms. McKee constructs a seemingly innocuous conversation that ultimately lays bare the depths of each woman's heartache and loneliness."
