We first see Melanie (Nora Tschirner), a young German woman who's moved to an English seaside town to be with her fiancé, dressed as Charlie Chaplin, the morning after a party.

Her fiancé has left her there, which is where she meets Ali (Kellie Shirley) who offers to find her a job waitressing.

She seems to be drifting, with no job, money or friends - her aimless existence broken up by supervising her fiancé's niece – a task that she doesn't appear to relish.

Ray has returned to the town he grew up in to pay his respects to his recently deceased brother's family.

Their relationship grows slowly, as they reveal confidences, share awkward, darkly funny situations (meeting Ray's eccentric relatives) and enjoy being together.

After a long day together, where they are closer than ever, Melanie gets a call from Ali saying there is a job going at the restaurant she works at, Beavers.

As Melanie takes the train out of town she looks out at the landscape speeding past, whilst a familiar figure walks through the carriage.
