Plot

Since her twin brother Billy died, Anna is stuck. She is approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum Marion's garden shed and spending her days making videos using her thumbs as actors but without showing them to anyone and no one knows what they are for. A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum – she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with Clint, a troubled eight-year-old boy whose mother is seriously ill and the local estate agent Brendan whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.
