A young, cynical French film student comes to London for the weekend to make a film project for his course. Disillusioned by his London experience, he's befriended by a stranger who shows him a side of the city, and himself, that he never would have seen. The story unfolds through his Super 8 film footage, and his voice-over narration gives us an insight into his thoughts and feelings throughout the journey.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely on actual Super 8 film stock, which director Timothy Smith processed himself to control the grainy, nostalgic look.
The film quietly captures mid-2000s London nightlife and the then-emerging East End club scene before widespread gentrification.
