The Colour of My Room

Sylvie is hiding away on the coast while she waits to hear if her radiotherapy has been effective. But when her chirpy friend Anita comes to visit, she brings with her a London headspace (all wedding plans and career gossip) which interrupts the grounded space Sylvie has created.

At first, it’s awkward. But when an old ritual turns into a heart-to-heart, something thaws between them. With Sylvie’s son watching on, Anita finally grasps how serious things are for Sylvie, while Sylvie sees that Anita may not be quite as happy as she has made out. They rekindle the sisterhood that underpins their friendship.

After Anita leaves, Sylvie receives inconclusive news from the hospital. She takes her son up to the lighthouse, but it’s closed. Instead, they make do with the the cliff edge – and together, they look out at the horizon towards France.
