Two strangers meet at a bus stop. Martin, a successful young professional, leads a wildly different life to Leila, a daydreaming waitress at a greasy spoon. Living amidst the chaos of London, both struggle with what is expected of them as a man, as a woman, and where they fit into society. Set solely at a bus stop, An Act of Kindness explores gender pressure and the impact it has on identity. If we allow ourselves to connect to others, a stranger’s perspective of the world can clarify our own. Funny, warm, relatable to all humans.
