BOILED BEANS ON TOAST

A serene, old lady unexpectedly discovers a passion for horse-racing; a small-town youth, devoted to his family, gets mesmerised by prospects of sudden prosperity; a trustworthy servant is discovered floating homeless in the nightmarish streets; and a not-very-bright maid learns how to fight for survival within the confines of a kitchen. What we have is modern city life in its many shadows - funny, tender, moving, relentless in its pursuit of success and buffeted by ceaseless emotional flux.
