The Carer

Theatrical legend, SIR MICHAEL GIFFORD is terminally ill. He’s also foul-mouthed and  impossible. Into his fraught household comes Hungarian immigrant girl DOROTTYA to act as yet another badly treated caregiver - but she also brings a secret with her and thus a second chance in life for SIR MICHAEL.
