Project Detail

Following Yago

Synopsis

Following Yago is a quirky study of married life. It takes the popular genre of romantic comedy and shifts the focus away from the typical 'boy meets girl' scenario to examine how a couple stay together and whether this is the basis of true love.
 
Jack has recently given up his full-time job to concentrate on writing a book on the Mary Rose.  Finding it easier to work at  night, his routine has changed and he now sleeps during the day.  Meanwhile, his wife, Maddy, continues her job as a photographer in order to support them both.  Then, one day, much to Jack's horror, Maddy brings home a self-help book with a view to improving what Jack thought was a perfectly happy relationship.
 
The film is, unusually, set completely in one location (the couple's house) with only the two lead characters seen throughout. By giving the audience a private insight into their lives behind closed doors, the story explores how situations that occur in our outside lives affect us and, in turn, our personal relationships.
