Description A quirky comedy about six individuals' difficulties bridging the gap between the sexes. Beth and Richard confront the lack of stimulation in their 22 year old marriage. Lou and Austin, two cleaners, attempt to understand the way women work. A waitress sets up her sister, an obsessive Cliff Richard fan, with a disillusioned talkback radio DJ - an unlikely pairing! The characters' obliviousness to each other is intruded upon by farcical misunderstandings, one night at a bar, leading them to make or break an emotional connection.
