With Brexit fast approaching, Catherine Carr talks to people on the move in Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast and London. Are the people she meets downcast, delighted, or disinterested? At a time of political and social upheaval, we find out what is really on their minds.

In Glasgow, the first programme in the series, we find a city with a festive hangover, still counting the cost of Christmas and facing a cold January. A bereaved mother buys sweets for someone else鈥檚 son. A Croatian student on the way to celebrate a friend鈥檚 20th birthday confesses how anxious she feels about Brexit, saying 鈥楳aybe the deal won鈥檛 pass and they鈥檒l forget about it and wake up and Brexit is cancelled鈥�. While in the marketplace Catherine meets a proud father taking his son out for his first legal drink, a new mother who describes how bringing a new life into the world has transformed her thinking, and a newly transitioned woman who wishes she鈥檇 done it 鈥渉alf a lifetime ago鈥�.
The stories we encounter are woven with the sounds of the city - creating an intricate and beautiful audio portrait of Glasgow and its people.
