Cast: Kris Marshall, Zahra Ahmadi, Sally Bretton, Dylan Llewellyn, Felicity Montagu, Barbara Flynn, Melina Sinadinou, Jade Harrison, Peter Davison, Jeff Rawle, Joe Barnes, Paul Bradley, Danny Webb, Kevin Bishop, Nicholas Woodeson.

We make a display of forgiveness as one would give presents out at a specific time of year, not because we wish to absolve the sin, but because we wish to have our heart and mind settle in peace; the darkness and reflective hours spent in the will of counting out all we have left in the dust of our lives becomes more fragile, more delicate, as we soon realise that the year is coming once more to its close.
