Richard

Episode 3 of 10

Richard is sure it’s only a matter of time before people discover what he has been hiding in his parent’s old caravan. Written by Jan Carson.

A caravan-park on the Northern Irish coast is beset by a series of impossible thefts, forcing its disparate group of residents to come together to find their missing belongings. However, in this uncanny place where static caravans teeter on an eroding a cliff-edge overlooking the ocean, each holidaymaker soon finds themselves similarly wavering between certainty and doubt; one world and the next; the past and the present; and even reality and fantasy.
