Would it make any difference, so long as you went on doing the job you were paid to do? Lorna comes to work one morning in a buzzing newspaper office, high up in a shining tower block. A colleague offers to bring her a smart new sandwich and fancy coffee in a paper cup. Emails, boyfriends, sparkling parties follow...The problem is that Lorna has had a brainstorm. She can't remember what she does, where she came from, where she's supposed to go next.

It's also about memory and forgetfulness, and the importance of learning from the past.
