Patchwork (2014)
Welcome to idyllic small town Hertfordshire where people perpetually go about their average and everyday lives … but just beneath the surface of the mundane hum-drum of middle-class suburbia is a world of magic, wonder and surprise. Patchwork weaves together a series of short tales in which the ordinary and the commonplace are interchangeable with the implausible and the impossible … a world in which anything can happen … and does.
