By Jack Dickson. A belligerent bus driver discovers the unexpected benefits of a sudden surge of hormones as he begins to 'feel', for the first time in his unreconstructed life.

by Jack Dickson

A 58-year old Glaswegian discovers the unexpected benefits of a sudden surge of hormones.

Gary McGuire likes a drink, is suspicious of hugging and never, ever, talks about his feelings. He's ripe for a life-changing experience and when he begins a course of anti-androgen therapy to shrink his prostate tumour, that's exactly what he gets. But how will his family and friends react when the hormones flood his system and this ordinary Scottish male begins to 'feel' - for the first time in his unreconstructed life?

Directed By Eilidh Mccreadie.
