Cost of Living
Synopsis
Learning that her husband Martyn intends to remarry, Jayne initially refuses the divorce to pressure him into taking on her debts in the settlement. Despite her mother’s tendencies to lie and steal, Robin sides with Jayne against her over-indulgent father. Alarmed by Robin and Jayne’s increasing emotional and financial co-dependence, Martyn finally takes the debt, and Jayne disappears.
Robin suffers an emotional breakdown during an exam, and moves home with Martyn. Years later, Jayne is remarried and embezzling money from her job as an accountant at a charity.

A VIST TO GRANDPA'S is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story.

With Hopkins set to deliver a career- defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
