Description: In a small Scottish town, a teenage girl is forced to visit her grandfather. Already frustrated by this waste of an afternoon, her boredom turns to horror when he suggests they go out for fish and chips. With her precious teenage self-image now threatened by association in public with an incontinent old man, her worst fears are made real when, on a bench by the sea, some older girls film her emptying his catheter bag. She must now make a stark choice: his dignity or her own?
