Two married, heterosexual chimney sweeps face experiences that unsettle their views on sexuality and identity. One has a same-sex encounter without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity. The other finds himself in dreams where he is seen as a woman.
It feels repetitive, laboured and lacking in the sparky wit and insights that made Dreams and Love such delights.
