Some of the Parts

SOME OF THE PARTS is about families - the ones we’re born into, and the ones we create for ourselves. T Cooper tells of four separate yet connected family groupings. Long divorced Arlene is lonely and pill-popping; only after her daughter leaves does she begin to decipher the intricacies of motherhood. Arlene’s daughter Taylor is so simultaneously perfect yet useless, that she is paralysed by her inevitable future. Arlene’s brother Charlie faces the unexpected - even unwanted - prospect of surviving with terminal illness, and his best friend Isak is a gender ‘freak’ to the world at large.
