Synopsis
Seven-year-old Bertie Pollock continues to navigate life in Edinburgh while dealing with his overbearing mother and her obsession with psychotherapy. Around him, the residents of 44 Scotland Street face their own small dramas, from unexpected romance to the quiet wisdom of a gold-toothed dog named Cyril. It is a gentle look at the quirks of human nature and the charm of everyday life in a close-knit community.
