Carol Morley tracks down her old friend Catherine Corcoran and returns to India where they once travelled as teenagers.
“A warm, very human film investigating the loss of friendship and the cathartic process” – The Independent
“Return Trip is a fascinating piece of voyeuristic escapism for any viewers looking for an alternative to Corrie and EastEnders. With real drama” – Observer
“It is 1984 and two teenage girls with New Romantic haircuts and old romantic ideals are travelling in India. Carol and Corky are performing time honoured rites of passage. Some travellers thrive on challenges and most know the dangers from dysentery to daylight robbery. Few experience near-death experiences.” – Sarah Ryle, Observer
