Bertie Plays The Blues
Synopsis
Life at 44 Scotland Street continues with its usual charm as seven-year-old Bertie Pollock dreams of escaping his mother's overbearing control for a bit of freedom. Meanwhile, the other residents of the Edinburgh apartment building navigate new parenthood, engagement jitters, and the humorous complexities of Scottish social life. It is a gentle look at the small dramas and quiet joys that connect a group of neighbors.
