A Time To Travel
Mary is an investment banker in Edinburgh’s Financial District. A seasoned time-traveller, she connects with suffragette Violet and her daughter Rose, a WW1 soldier’s sweetheart.
As her life begins strangely to mirror theirs, can she finally face her own past trauma to reach across a century and heal their mother-daughter relationship?
Eleanor's Journey
Five women have forged a friendship through decades of
political protests and demonstrations. But they have never
been in one another’s homes.
Eleanor is terminally ill, so she decides to do a tour round all
her old friends. At the same time, unknown to Eleanor, her
daughter is getting into a disastrous relationship with one of
the husbands.
What happens when life’s parallel tracks collide?
The Ghost of Erraid
In 1924, young Lisa moves with her mother, father and brother to
Erraid, a tiny causeway island in the Hebrides. The family are
welcomed into the small community of lighthouse keepers.
Frequently caught between her abusive father and her gentle
mother, Lisa struggles to make sense of the local teacher’s obsessive interest in her brother.
Red Gown Girl
It is 1964: a country girl is finding her feet in this
sophisticated ivory tower of St Andrew's University; a formal ball is looming; the race is on to secure a partner.
A game of assumptions and deception
is played out. What should be a night of glamourous frivolity
turns into disaster and near tragedy. In the background, the
older generation struggles with new machines called
computers and pop music from Liverpool.
A Good Time For Miracles
It is 1954 and the women in a Scottish mining community are
squaring up to the second half of the twentieth century and all the changes it will bring. They are determined to do it with or without support from their men. They struggle with the strangleholds of entrenched tradition and sectarian religion.
Sometimes it seems as if only a miracle can help them but, when the clock strikes twelve on Hogmanay - New Year’s Eve - everyone is in for a surprise.
