Sex, cake and the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife: but in the 21st Century.

A beady, at times funny look at nostalgia, choice and contemporary relationship, love and romance.

Judy and Johnny lead a thoroughly immersed colourful 1950’s lifestyle at home: clothes, décor, music, appliances. Of choice, she stays at home while Johnny works as an estate agent: she always ensures his egg top is removed at breakfast and his cocktail and slippers are ready for his return from the office. He hopes for a promotion. But he realises they have financial problems; the house might be repossessed. Three years earlier Judy had taken redundancy from a job in finance, but the money is running out. He is underperforming at work and doesn’t earn as much commission. He says he isn’t happy. They need to change. But he does get a promotion that will involve a long commute.
