The Small Things
T970294485
An elderly man and woman sit on two armchairs in a large empty room. She carefully polishes 12 small ceramic animals as he contemplates dragging himself to the kitchen to fix a cheese toastie. They begin to talk of childhood memories stuffed with details, of small things. But slowly their talk turns to the horrors and atrocities they've experienced - of a kind of language cleansing that has swept through their community - and we realise that they are the last two people left on earth and that one of them will have the responsibility of speaking the last word to ever be spoken.
