Turning synopsis
On his birthday, Robert receives three beautiful old birds in his mother’s sitting room. Through his eyes, we visit the memory of this afternoon…tea is sipped , and between knobbly knees strange visions appear. The ladies weave an extraordinary tale of an emperor with no skin, and the boy himself, older and wiser, adds the finale… with a tail.

Produced as part of BBC Film Network’s BBC Drama Shorts 2009 commission, in conjunction with Lighthouse Arts & Training and BBC Writersroom.

Screened on BBC HD as part of BBC HD Film Shorts
