Friendship, First Loves, Rebellion!
1974; during a violent coalminers' strike in a quiet Northern village a teenage artist meets a gorgeous new girl from London but their attempts to escape make him betray his family, community and best friends. With political protests and communities straining under a crumbling economy the 1970s setting has parallels with today and the film is an uplifting and soulful mix of cool 1970s styles, romance, teenage rebellion and gritty social realism.
