The Early Days

Synopsis

A stone age couple are going through a rocky patch. His offer of lunch isn't going to be enough to salvage things. She packs her bags for the 'Black Death' experience as they are revealed to be actors working in a living history exhibit.
 
He hits rock bottom.
 
Three months later, they bump into each other - A second chance? For a moment we're reminded how they used to be with each other, but unfortunately it transpires he still hasn't 'evolved' sufficiently.
