Itch

Synopsis

Itch follows Nathan McCarthy through three days of his life he wanders alone, along the streets of his depressing industrial town – he has chance meetings with strangers – he bumps into an old friend in a pub, Paul Chapple, who turns out to be a local small-time drug dealer and the catalyst in changing his life.

Nathan has been suffering from years of manic depression. He has been in and out of institutions but nothing has helped him so far – he is a man on the edge and is to become totally unbalanced through a series of seemingly random events.

Nathan has an itch he can’t scratch. This is the story of how he comes to terms with his problems and how he deals with it all in his own special way. His therapy is about to begin.

Virginia Wool's Night & Day Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

Year:

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
