Award winning director Dominic Savage sets this poignant, modern love story in a town in the north of England seething with racial tension. Adam has grown up in an atmosphere of bigotry and suspicion both at home and in the wider community, while in the same town, Naseema belongs to a new generation of Asian youth that sees violence as a means to secure their place in society. However, when Adam and Naseema start working together in a DIY store, a mutual attraction is irresistible. The relationship challenges the indoctrination, hatred and prejudices of these around them and the couple must fight to find happiness.

UK 2005, dir. Dominic Savage, 86 min. Momentum Pictures.
