An unlikely friendship grows down on the allotment…

With Frank’s family so far away, he passes the time on his beloved allotment. When the plot next door becomes vacant, he really looks forward to meeting his new neighbour. Until she arrives that is!

Isabella and her cheeky chickens soon disrupt Frank’s peaceful routine. She grows flowers, he grows vegetables. She loves to sing and chat and he loves nothing more than a quiet cup of tea. Things come to a head when Frank discovers Isabella in his shed, but he misunderstands the reason why.

Staged on lovingly recreated life-size allotments, this story about two lonely people, an old man and a young Ukrainian woman, who both understand the heartache of missing their families, reminds us that with the breaking down of barriers, friendship can grow in the most unlikely conditions.
