The Principle of Uncertainty

With Abi McCoughlin. Written by Andrea Brunello. Adapted and directed by Stefania Bochicchio.

Laura Bailey (Abi McLoughlin), is a PHD in Quantum physics; she starts delivering a lecture to her freshers on the subject that fills her with wonder: quantum mechanics.

Leading her captive audience through wondrous double slits experiments and cats in boxes which are dead AND alive, all seems well and resonant with a perfect world of infinite complexity, when, in the midst of all that awe-inspiring joy, the lecture turns into a confession that mixes some of the more advanced ideas of physics with the professor's secrets. As the scientific world clashes with our own emotions the audience can't help but empathise with the vulnerable academic, but what is the tragic tale that Professor Laura Bailey slowly reveals?
