Gifts Between Us
Elderly Londoner Augustus has lived a long, miserable life. Having driven his few remaining loved ones away years ago, he now whiles away his time drinking rum and hoping for the end.
One night his death wish is nearly granted by a mugger, but a local youth called Michael intervenes. Much to the old man's horror (and fascination) Michael promptly begins to devour the mugger's body.
Slowly, Augustus and his mysterious saviour form an unlikely friendship, one built on sharing the gifts of trust, camaraderie, and acceptance.
And one last gift: a secret. It is the cause of Michael's cannibalistic nature. And, perhaps, a reason for Augustus to go on living...
