‘Commissioned by BBC Drama and filmed in the unforgiving wilds of the Lake District, Gaia is a bleak British comedy, savagely skewering the fantasy of getting away from it all. ’
Life on the road isn’t quite what Ella and her girlfriend Katie dreamed of when they quit their jobs and drove off in pursuit of the #VanLife dream. The pressure of churning out sponsored social media posts to fund their new lifestyle has taken its toll on their relationship and for Katie, they've reached the end of the road. When Ella makes a deal with her to shoot one last ad for an organic dog food brand, neither of them are quite prepared for the challenges of torrential weather and a bloodthirsty terrier.
