Rita is a young wife
working as a hairdresser in the early 1980’s, who is determined to
escape her working class bad education. She enrols in the Open
University, and is assigned to Frank, an ex-poet with a penchant for
drink and hiding his true emotions. Rita’s burning ambitions and
desire to ‘know everything’ contrast sharply with Frank’s
disillusionment with the English course he teaches, but under her
dynamic, sometimes even zealous influence he finds himself recapturing
some of his former enthusiasm for English and life. Together they embark
on a highly enjoyable voyage of discovery that seems to promise
friendship at least: a voyage which, nevertheless, threatens to change
both their lives irrevocably.
