Description: 30-year-old Alby is desperately trying, and often failing, to come to terms with the death of his mother. And he never lets up, no matter how many times he gets kicked in the groin. Melding tenderness and grit, humour and rage, Making Nice cuts through all the grief, the failure and the fights of Alby's fractured family. Sometimes it gets ugly, but you'll be left cheering on this flawed, strangely loveable man, whose heart is - roughly - in the right place.
