A group of average British guys compete to win the affections of the beautiful Miriam. The twist is that the object of their pursuit is in fact a transsexual.

Miriam's parents are not at home. She, her little brother and the Hen are watching swimming ducks on TV. As the Hen becomes jealous, Miriam decides to bath it in the bath-tube. This triggers a dangerous adventure which, luckily, has a happy ending.

Miriam goes camping with her family and her chicken, on the lakeside. But a chicken was not made just for swimming and sunbathing. It was made to get in trouble.

An elderly woman makes the acquaintance of a strange and disturbed little girl in this haunting film based on the Truman Capote short story 'Miriam.'

A silent drama film directed by Sidney Morgan.

Karen, a maths teacher, finds herself involved in a traffic accident for which she is not to blame. The accident causes the death of a girl on a scooter. Although innocent, the young woman is distraught, more so when she discovers that the dead girl – Miriam – is none other than the sister of her pupil, Lukas. The more everyone around her assures her that she is not to blame for the girl’s death, the guiltier Karen feels. To her, the accident is like an equation that just doesn’t add up. In an attempt to make up for her actions at least in part, she begins to give Lukas extra maths lessons. But, consumed by his pain, the boy wants much more from her. Driven by her desire to atone, Karen allows herself to be drawn into a self-destructive relationship. She shows Lukas no resistance – even when he begins to get rough with her. The more determinedly she plunges into her intensely physical encounters with Lukas, the more she distances herself from her boyfriend, Christian. He just wants to put everything behind him and is finding it increasingly hard to comprehend his partner. Their seething emotional problems go from bad to worse. Lonely and grief-stricken, Karen begins to feel that the only person who can understand her is Lukas. Before long the painful bond between these two begins to open up another possibility altogether.

The hen enjoys playing around with kites. When Miriam has no more time for it, the hen convinces the little brother to go along. But the kite is too big for little brother and it flies him up to a treetop. Miriam and the hen need to act fast to get him down. As joint effort it works.

Envy goes before a fall! Up a tree, on a nest box there is a starling trilling to Miriam. This is spotted by Hen, sitting tediously on a window-ledge. As Father has just finished making a scooter for the little brother, Hen requires that he should make a nest box for her.

The family is on an outing. Mother and father are laying the picnic table, meanwhile the small ones start playing on a meadow. The hen wanders into somebody's vegetable patch and is scared to half-death seeing a scarecrow. Everybody starts looking for her and the little brother encounters a snake. But the hen is brave now and ends up as the hero of the day...

Self-confessed Christmas Scrooge, Miriam Margolyes, turns to her love of Charles Dickens and the festive traditions in 'A Christmas Carol' to see if she can rekindle her love for Christmas
