Last chance romance tells a thought-provoking story of an old woman at the end of her days and the surprise visitors that come to escort her on her surreal journey to 'The Great Beyond'. Set on the lonesome salt marches of Norfolk, England, an elderly, weatherworn woman endlessly sweeps the ever-present dust outside her solitary caravan. As she dreams of release from her lot, two impeccably attired lotharios appear at her door offering a thrilling regress to the days of her youth. But are their motives sincere or sinister? Join us on a journey through the twilight of everyman's life. The dreams that sustain us, the fortunes that find us, and the images that ultimately define us. In the space of just a few minutes 'Last Chance Romance' transports us into the future of our own existence, and the age old question of what lies beyond.
