It's New Year's Eve but Eric, suitably dressed for a party, is alone. For a man who has spent the last 20 years "being in charge of pencils", this a bit of a blow...but that's only a fraction of his problems. He hasn't spoken to another human being since the love of his life moved on in the most dramatic of circumstances, after all - it has been 20 years since she caught a train that would change everything. A dark comedy about anxiety, jazz, love and table tennis.
