How does language shape our relationships? Can fewer words convey deeper meaning? Why would the government limit a whole population to only 140 words a day?
​
Amidst this constraint, activist and songwriter Oliver and trainee barrister Bernadette, navigate the challenges of expressing love, frustration, and everything in between within the confines of their allotted words. As they grapple with the impact of the Quietude Bill on their relationship, questioning the essence of communication, the power of silence, and the significance of language in human connection.
