A story about an older teacher and a young hairdresser taking classes.
Rita is a working-class girl wanting to learn literature. Frank is the teacher who is most of the time drunk and in need of some money. So he reluctantly takes on a student from Open University. What they both don’t think is that they have something in common, but after a few weeks they can appreciate each others point of view and they even learn from each other: Rita learns to make choices for herself and Frank learns that the world doesn’t only exist out of literature.
