Description
'Routine Matters', Nat Wilson's precarious life of false starts, agony and ecstasy, is a compelling, cautionary yet enlightening tale for anybody contemplating that elusive new start.
A mid-life crisis looms. So, following a Lotto win, Nat decides to circulate between three countries, free from the daily grind and constraints of working life. He creates routines to navigate himself through exile, but underestimates his obsession with the past, the frightening unpredictability of life and the consequences of the relentless passing of time. This intimate journey through Nat's internal and external world in 'Routine Matters' reminds us that life tends to happen when we are planning other things.
