Childhood friends Patrick, Shiv, Rian, Oli, and Conor played together, skipped school together, and dreamt of the lives they would have one day.
Childhood friends who grew up on a Birmingham estate, the five of them wished for something more for their lives. Now in their 30s, those dreams haven’t materialised quite how they imagined, and the future they once hoped for seems more out of reach than ever.
Exploring the disillusionment of young British people with the current state of the country's socio-political and economic landscape, Clio Barnard's astonishing new film showcases the strength and necessity of friendship, love and found family. Adapted by Tony Award-winner Enda Walsh, from the acclaimed novel by Keiran Goddard.
