Stop idolising our own parents?What happens when we become frightened of the generations below us?

Frightened of our own children?The Aeolian islands, 2010.

Sophia, on the cusp of adulthood, spends a long hot summer with her father in Sicily.

There she falls in love for the first time. There she works as her father's amanuensis, typing the novel he dictates, a story about sex and gender divides.

There, their relationship fractures. London, Summer 2020. Sophia's father, a 61-year-old novelist who does not feel himself to be a bad or outdated person sits in a large theatre, surrounded by strangers, watching his daughter's first play.

A play that takes that Sicilian holiday is its subject.

A play that will force him to watch his purported crimes play out in front of him.
