Episode 1 plays here for free. From episode 2 onwards you need a Dreamy Shorts membership.

What Diverted is about

An airport with one runway, somewhere in Scotland, and fog that will not lift. The only hotel in the place has one room left, with one bed. In front of it stand two stranded travellers: a woman in her late forties, married, on her way back from a meeting, and a man in his late twenties who wants to let her go first at reception. They toss a coin. Heads or tails, and the room belongs to both of them. Diverted starts with that coin and does not stop as long as the fog stays.

Every morning is the same: departures board, cancelled, back to the hotel. Her husband calls, rebooks, sends the confirmation. She thanks him, hangs up and goes back upstairs, where one robe hangs for two and the bar downstairs closes at eleven. The series tells four nights, and with each night the lie on the phone gets shorter, until during the video call in episode 4 she no longer knows where to point the camera. He says nothing. He does not need to. He is there when the flight is cancelled, and that is the case every morning.

Episode 1, Heads or Tails, is the reception desk, the coin, the corridor, the one door. You see them both wonder whether to find it funny, and then simply pick a side of the bed. Nothing happens. Not yet. But the alarm is set for five, and outside the visibility is worse than the evening before. Two boarding passes in the final episode tell you how it ends.

The husband is constantly present without ever being in the room. He calls, rebooks, sends messages, and every one of those messages lies between the two of them in the bed. The tension does not come from the hotel but from the phone. And from the fog, which decides every morning whether the story goes on.
