Based on the best-selling book by award-winning writer Simon Garfield, four stories from Britain's 'lost decade' (1945 - 1955) are presented from the diaries of four very distinct people. In his book, Garfield selected some of the most expressive diarists, and focused on the post-war years giving a vivid portrait of how Britain coped in the post-war years and how little, or how much, attitudes have changed over the past 60 years. The stories touch on homosexuality, single women making their way in life post-war and a housewife handling the less than welcome return of her husband.

A man's life changes when he gets a hairpiece. Oscar nominated short film

O filme é uma obra em movimento. David Thewlis interpreta um homem sem lar e sem perspectivas que estupra uma mulher e foge, invadindo e mudando os rumos das vidas de várias pessoas que encontra. Thewlis vira carrasco, bálsamo, incitador, vítima, dependendo de quem cruza seu caminho. Parece um anjo/demônio boêmio que vem para provocar reações. Sua rudeza com uma mulher de meia-idade que se exibe na janela contrasta com seus conselhos metafísicos para o vigilante que a olha. Nu despe o espectador de qualquer procura por coerência narrativa. O que importa aqui é investigar almas.
