In the picturesque English market town of Lewes: Josie is a dreamer. Tony is a hapless romantic. Alf finds other people difficult to read. Alison is lost in alcohol and isolation. Four individuals looking for answers but asking all the wrong questions. Optimistic, funny and heart-warming in equal measure - INCIDENTAL CHARACTERS celebrates the magic of moments and the influence we have on each other, often without knowing it.

Two people tune into each other across the noise of the world. When the signal fades, what remains? A story of connection built not on certainty, but on echoes, pauses, and the quiet rhythm of shared moments. A relationship told through the subtle shifts of presence and absence, of intimacy and distance, and the traces we learn to hear when someone is gone.

Frankie and George have been together since they were teenagers. They have forgotten how to be in love. One weekend. Two contrasting days. An intimate portrait of a long term relationship, overshadowed by decisions made in the past. Saturday is stifling and claustrophobic. The couple's house feels small, like a prison cell; the garden an exercise yard. Sunday sees the couple walking on the blustery hills of the South Downs. Out in the open, looking down on the town where they live, they gain a new perspective.
