Info

On a dreary, rainy Monday morning, spirited home-care workers Francis and Loretta arrive for a routine visit to a regular client. However, they are met with an unexpected situation.

The women dream of a fatter paycheck. An opportunity for easy money arises out of the blue, and together they find themselves entangled in a web of fabricated alibis and mounting lies.

*Pikavoitto* presents a series of mishaps and absurd twists that unfold with breezy, everyday charm; the decisions made amidst the chaos quickly spiral into a tangle of events over the course of a single day—a story that is both funny and moving. One lie leads to another, and there is no turning back. How do they silence a nagging conscience? And just how far are they willing to go?

This uproarious dark comedy for two women is penned by Marie Jones, the writer behind the hit comedy *Stones in His Pockets*.
