friEND (excerpt)

Synopsis:

Holly, a misanthrope, finds to her horror that she’s lonely.  Finding her isolation hard to cope with, she visits a new GP, Renata.

Holly manages to manoeuvre the conversation in such a way that, by its end, Renata – very much against her better judgement – has agreed to go for a walk with her once a week, more or less in the way one might as a friend.

What ensues is a complex, evolving relationship that slips and slides and crosses boundaries.

Both women find much to recommend the relationship, yet both, in a way, feel trapped.

But how does one end a friendship?  There are no rules.
