Pilcrow
Synopsis
Meet John Cromer, a man who sees himself not as a letter in the human alphabet, but as a unique piece of punctuation: a pilcrow. Growing up in the 1950s, John experiences his childhood in a state of profound isolation, shielded from the world. His life's challenge becomes clear: to emerge from this self-imposed tank and navigate the complexities of life on his own terms. This story explores a rich, unconventional existence, supported by a cast of memorable characters.
