The site known as Gerry's Pompeii was a one-bedroom ground-floor flat, and canal-side garden, occupied by Gerald Dalton from 1983 until his death in 2019. Entirely transformed by him into a unique landscape of handmade sculptures and architectural models, it referenced the shared histories of the UK and his native Ireland. As neighbours and friends campaign to keep Gerry's Pompeii in situ, this film investigates the poignant mystery of what inspired him.

Young psychotherapist Ernest is an expert in being normal – he even has a PhD in normalization. He’s just begun his first job, at the prestigious (if rather gloomy) Institute for Extremely Normal Behaviour. It’s immediately clear his patients need his help: the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the furious Queen of Hearts all claim to be from somewhere called Wonderland. But as Ernest gets to know them all, he begins to ask himself two big questions: what is ‘normal’ and what’s so great about it anyway? Digital Release 31st July 2020. Recorded: 2014 in the Linbury Studio Theatre
