Jamaica House

Work:: Jamaica House (S6146)

Two world's collide in a high-rise tower block as the clock ticks down towards demolition. Narshi, 17 years old and working for his uncle's company, is making the final check of the 15th floor. There he is shocked to discover Jean, who has lived in the building for nearly thirty years. She refuses to leave, saying she has nothing left to live for. Narshi tries to change her mind, while she tells him the story of her life in Jamaica House. An uneasy friendship begins to develop, but time is quickly running out - can they make their peace before their future goes up in smoke?
