When a work experience scheme lands him with unenthused teenager Alan, Frank’s fascinating knowledge seems to fall on deaf ears - but are they really as different as Frank first thought? From the acclaimed writer of The Flint Street Nativity and Calendar Girls comes a heart-warming comedy about having pride in your work, faith in your dreams and trust in who you are.
