Everything is in place: a beautiful resort, lazing holiday-makers, a middle-aged married couple, PAUL (Gerard McSorley) and REBECCA (Suzanne Burden) reading by the poolside. When a spirited French boy tears his way through the picture-perfect scene, oblivious to the noise and disruption his behaviour causes, he becomes the all-encompassing focus of Paul’s irritation which mounts uncontrollably into an irrational hatred.
