Red Sea Fish

Synopsis:
Ray, a retired thief, sees out his days on the top floor of a tower block on the South Coast. Confined during the day by a rare skin condition, he's cared for by his son Terry. Ray merrily fills the air with accounts of lost love, past misadventure and the daily observations of a bitter old man. When Terry invites a young runaway, Karen, back to the flat, she ignites long forgotten passions in Ray. Red Sea Fish is a darkly funny and ultimately tender story about loss, identity and the folly of trying to control the world.
