Description |
"Eileen and David live in a high rise block in Whitechapel. Eileen makes bridal outfits for a living, David is a musician. Eileen is supporting David to enable him to win a musical scholarship, and also because, through David's music, she can escape her own claustrophobic existence. But David has given up his lessons and has been spending his money on another woman. Does Eileen see that her creative fulfilment cannot be realised through someone else's talent?" |
