Summary

by Clara Glynn

It's been a year since Kirsten and Bill opened their home to a Ukrainian family. Now relationships have become strained, can mediation help them to find agreement?

Murdo ..... Liam Brennan Kirsten ..... Kirsty Stuart Bill ..... Michael Nardone Larissa ..... Vera Graziadei Mykola ..... Dmitry Everdeen

Directed by Gaynor Macfarlane

As the pressure on the UK’s courts intensifies, more and more cases are going through mediation as an alternative form of conflict resolution. In our series we present cases in which opposing versions of the truth have hardened into what seems like irreconcilable positions. The mediator has to try to find compromise, agreement and a way forward.
