Josh's Monsters

Josh and Ben fought imaginary monsters as kids growing up in North Devon. Now Ben climbs mountains and Josh is about to leave for a second tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Chrissie and Doug had moved the boys to Devon for a fresh start – and had agreed never to talk of their lives ‘before’. But Josh’s decision to join up threatens the idyll.

While Chrissie is in the kitchen baking cakes for Josh and his comrades, Doug is in the cellar with his computers, refusing to accompany his wife to the send-off. They communicate by Skype between kitchen and cellar, Doug streaming in a variety of images from the net – news footage, blogs, video-diaries, facebook pages – as well as family photos past and present.

Enjoy both Chrissie’s home-baking and Doug’s video-mixing as the two of them struggle to resolve their differences and salvage their family’s future.
