Dominic waits by a van outside a residential building in South London. He's joined by old friend Nico and it's an awkward reunion.

Dominic has contacted him after a long gap and a financially challenged Nico has asked him to help collect a free sofa from one of the flats.

The friends walk into the middle of a heated break-up scene as the couple argue over ownership of the sofa; it's a full-blown furniture custody battle. The guys finally acquire the sofa and struggle to get it outside. And that's the easy part...

Short fact:

This is the follow up to the digital feature Deadpan Valentine (2006) which also stars Mark Parsons and has music by Gavin Saunders.

    This is a fabulous film. Love it. The performances from all the cast are outstanding, supported by a wonderfully written script and steady direction.  

    There's a quality of groundedness - if can make up a word - without severity that reminds me of Mike Leigh's early shorts.

    The filmmakers must have had fun making this.
