“We’ve become savages, trampling over each other for a tiny bit of grass!”
Rachel and Ben want to buy their own place; as do their friends, Melanie and Sam. But with rising rental costs, cost-of-living crises and stagnant pay structures, saving for a deposit seems impossible. The solution? Sharing a one-bed flat between the four of them. But with paper thin walls and space growing sparser by the day, which will they sacrifice first – the friendship, the relationship or the dream of buying their own property?
An all-too relatable black comedy about ‘Generation Rent’ and lengths they will go to to get that first step on the property ladder.
