79-year-old Gloria Frensham is a hoarder. She lives amongst piles of magazines, cardboard boxes and endless knick-knacks that are stacked into every room of her home, and teeter in piles along the landing and up the stairs.

Determined she?s not ready for a care home, Gloria sets out to discover what life still has to offer her. It?s time to navigate the outside world on her own, one step at a time, with just one very small suitcase in tow?
