The Pearce Sisters

Two sisters who look as unlike each other as it's possible to be inhabit a remote island where their daily activity revolves around collecting what driftwood they can find before hoisting some beheaded fish in their smokehouse. Then one day, one spots a bedraggled sailor clinging to his upturned boat. With a wild storm blowing, they set off to rescue him and then bringing him back to the safety of their home give him a wash, a shave and a lovely pink cardigan. When he awakens, he hasn't a clue what is going on except that he is naked but for this garment and has two rather strange looking women looking on. What would you do? Yep, me too - but how far can he get before the storm finishes what it started earlier? There could be something quite menacing about this, or there could be something equally attributable to a misunderstanding but in any case their guest is reacting instinctively and with that provoking a reaction an other from the siblings and we are now delivered of quite a funny and earthy story. The bleak and weather-worn scenario is delivered surprisingly graphically at times and I did quite enjoy the attention to the scrubby detail drawn onto these three characters and their bleak surroundings. After this nine minutes, I did wonder if perhaps being rescued wasn't quite the divine intervention I might have liked. Good fun.
