About This Program ✦
The programme presents a single‑episode story centred on a woman who has taken legal action against her former live‑in boyfriend. It frames the dispute as a civil claim, with the woman seeking redress for rent that she says has not been paid. The narrative is built around this courtroom conflict and the personal history that underpins it. In the core of the plot, the woman alleges that her ex‑partner failed to meet his financial obligations for the shared accommodation. She has filed a suit to recover the unpaid rent, positioning the claim as the primary catalyst for the unfolding drama. The legal proceedings become the backdrop against which the characters' past relationship is examined. Complicating matters, both parties level accusations of alcohol misuse against one another. Each claims that the other’s drinking problem has contributed to the breakdown of their cohabitation and the ensuing financial dispute. These mutual allegations add a layer of personal tension to the already fraught legal battle. The episode therefore intertwines the woman’s pursuit of unpaid rent with the reciprocal claims of drinking issues, portraying a situation where financial and personal grievances intersect. The story remains focused on the lawsuit and the dual accusations, without introducing external elements or additional characters.
