WHEN THE CLAPPING STOPS

Logline: A short film about the desperate state of the UK care sector. Written by a care worker.

Synopsis: Matty - a young and dedicated care worker - meets his match when his agency assigns him to middle-aged firecracker and epilepsy sufferer, June. Despite struggling to access support from a sector stretched thin, Matty must also provide unpaid care for his terminally ill Grandfather. Soon, the emotional stress of balancing his personal and professional care duties begins to take its toll - abandonment and isolation causing dangerous cracks to appear.
