Life Rights by Nicholas Meiklejohn
4 Extra Debut. A reunion between two estranged friends sparks contradictory memories of the past. Stars Robert Jack and Sandy Grierson.
Two estranged friends - now in their early 40s 鈥� are reunited.
One鈥檚 been stuck in the small Scottish town where they grew up, having grudgingly taken over his family鈥檚 moribund business.
The other found modest and fleeting success as an indie filmmaker.
When the filmmaker shows up with an unusual request, it sparks contradictory memories of the past.
Nicholas Meiklejohn鈥檚 drama is about the fragility of memory, ambition, familial expectations, and the frustrations of looming middle age.
