A middle aged man, Tom, walks out one day on his wife and baby boy and his seemingly happy life with no explanation. He opts to live on the streets of London. Alone in a park at night he is set upon by a gang of violent thugs, in his bid to escape he accidentally runs into a tree. In A&E Tom meets an extremely happy, fast-talking individual, Aidan, the complete opposite of Tom. Too polite, or too weak to ask him to leave him alone Tom tries to get away from him but to no avail, Aidan sticks to Tom like glue. Tom reluctantly becomes involved in Aidan's life and he quickly realizes that this child like man clearly has his own problems, except Aidan can't see them, his shiny optimism blinds him at every turn, even from his 'girlfriend' the dangerous and volatile Linda.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around the collision of two lost souls, relying on the streets of London as a silent witness to their unraveling. It explores fragility and forced connection through naturalistic performances and a restrained visual style.

What lingers after the credits is not the plot, but the aching, quiet space between the characters — a testament to how we sometimes save ourselves by first being found by others. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jamie Thraves

With a warm drink in hand, settled in for a character study that finds humor in life's rough edges.
