Friday is Mushroom Soup

Burnt-out home carer, Kate, finds herself in uncharted territory when her favourite client, Doug, drops some unexpected news.

Directed by: Arnold T Rice

Runtime: 17 MINUTES
Completed: 14/09/2025
Countries of Production: United Kingdom

In a crumbling council flat, Doug (David Sterne) spends his days with Sky Sports, egg-custard tarts and teasing his favourite carer, Kate (Katy Trevor). But tonight, nothing goes to plan. Kate’s late, her toothache is flaring, and Doug seems strangely evasive. As she rushes through her tightly rationed 15 minutes, he drops unexpected news that leaves her caught between duty, concern and her own creeping burnout. With time running out and patience fraying, Kate is forced to confront both Doug’s defences and her own breaking point. Maybe tonight wasn’t the night to finally quit smoking…
