Rita is a hairdresser hungry to inject some meaning into her life. Frank is a disillusioned tutor of English whose lack of success has driven him to the bottle.  With Frank as her tutor Rita enrols in an open university course and her education process begins. The clash of cultures produces both amusing and serious effects. Rita’s fresh, intuitive approach becomes clouded and stifled as she grapples with the strictures of formal education, while Frank also learns something – to believe in himself again.
