Leigh's melancholy variation on 'Postman's Knock' centres on three postmen whose domestic lives on a suburban estate are more loosely (and painfully) entangled than they realise. The sexual conquests (if such a glamourous term is applicable here) of one of the 'posties' opens a can of worms that no one is prepared to deal with. Low-key Leigh.
