NOTES

Title from title frames

Adapted by Sadie Jones from her award-winning novel, this is a powerful portrait of small-town hypocrisy and young love, set in 1950s Britain. Lewis Aldridge is ten years old when he witnesses the death of his doting mother. Left with his emotionally distant father Gilbert, he is forced to bury his grief. When Gilbert re-marries, Lewis' behaviour becomes self-destructive as he seems to be completely abandoned, but for the one girl whose love might yet save him. Can he summon the courage to overcome his demons and expose the darkness that lurks behind the façade of his picture-perfect village?
