Alma

Episode 6 of 10

Alma鈥檚 investigation into the belongings that have been stolen from the caravan park hits a dead end. But what connects the missing items? Written by Jan Carson.

A caravan-park on the Northern Irish coast is beset by a series of impossible thefts, forcing its disparate group of residents to come together to find their missing belongings. However, in this uncanny place where static caravans teeter on an eroding a cliff-edge overlooking the ocean, each holidaymaker soon finds themselves similarly wavering between certainty and doubt; one world and the next; the past and the present; and even reality and fantasy.
