With the collapse in corporate Pride support, Greg McGuiness looks into what the future holds for queer game development.

In the present day, Shoo (Clare Monnelly) is a care worker who has been hired by an agency to look after Peig (Bríd Ní Neachtain), an elderly woman recovering from a stroke. Peig doesn’t want any help and would prefer to return to her contented existence as a paranoid recluse. Naturally, she lives in a very remote part of a very remote village. Meanwhile, Shoo’s partner Mila (Aleksandra Bystrzhitskaya) is pregnant with their first child. Mila doesn’t want Shoo to go, but she insists they need the money. Perhaps what Shoo also needs is a distraction, following the recent death of her estranged mother by suicide. In her past, Peig has faced similar trauma — something Shoo learns, as the barriers between these two women start to break down. Peig’s fear of being taken away by “them” won’t go away so easily, and Shoo begins to realise that she may have a point.
