Fired from her job as a cleaner by a housewife whose family don’t know how to flush a loo, Ria finds herself at a loss. Living in a sublet flat with her loving but lazy and unemployed boyfriend Lee (Sion Daniel Young), Ria has accepted her fate as someone who muddles through life, even though her smarts and character make her beloved by friends who all want more for her.

Soon, Fran and Ria are chatting like old buds over sushi, sharing their traumas, and planning to work together long term. Fran encourages Ria to dump her fella, sign up to a dating app and declares: “You’re so used to crumbs Ria, take the whole f***ing loaf!”

The two lead actors excel in being simultaneously warm and untrustworthy. Ria has a full life but little money, while Fran is living in luxury with her own lifestyle business, but a husband who disappears abroad at the drop of a hat.

But Fran is all too eager to encourage this side of Ria, offering up her jewellery and dressing her up like her own personal Barbie doll. When Ria asks why she’s being so nice, she admits feeling sorry for her, but sees her value. It doesn’t sound entirely selfless, especially after Ria catches her having an affair with her married business partner, Richard, but it feels earnest. Fran’s lonely, and Ria’s giving her companionship.
