Better Things is a multi narrative drama depicting everyday life in small town England.
We follow several characters dealing in their own particular way with their relationships. As a day dawns in the Cotswolds a funeral is taking place that will have bitter repercussions for some of the community. Close by RACHEL and LARRY are reeling against a first love gone wrong. Meanwhile MR GLADWIN refuses to speak to MRS GLADWIN over events of a long time ago.
Following on from his multi award winning and critically acclaimed short films Duane Hopkins presents a painterly view of existence against a rarely seen rural backdrop and its separate generation’s approach to life, love, loss and intoxication.
