Meet Pauline, a woman so timid she can’t even bring herself to utter the word ‘toilet’, not like a Pauline should be, or that’s what she thinks. Dowdy and mousy, booking a boating holiday online in a neighbour’s bedroom is racy adventure. Inspired by a heart breaking true life tale, this is a warm, witty look at a waterways journey that takes an unexpected turn – back to memories of stifling respectability, young love, and the 60s that didn’t swing for everyone.
