Event details

Teenage boys Ste and Jamie are neighbours on a South London estate. Jamie knows more about ‘The Sound of Music’ than football, while classmate Ste is your quintessential ‘lad’. Both are suffering at the hands of their abusers, Jamie by the bullies at school and Ste at home by his violent father and brother. 

Following a particularly tough night, Ste seeks refuge next door and the boys kindle a new relationship. They continue to explore their feelings and sexuality, together with their rebellious, Mama Cass loving neighbour Leah and Jamie’s strong-willed mother, Sandra. 

This urban fairytale champions the importance of community and friendship in a timeless coming-out and coming-of-age story, portraying exactly what it means to be young and in love.
