The Quality of Memory

Synopsis

What does a person do when the bright lights of the big city begin to lose their attraction? Go home? Back to places fondly remembered, people recognised, safety, security? But nothing stays the same, everything moves on; especially people. Three childhood friends find out that as their lives have changed, memory is the greatest illusion of them all.
