Backstory pick
A gorgeous, heartbreaking story of growing up on the margins in Northeast England and striving for compansionship — and even love. Beautifully told. Tom
It is the 1980s and Finn and Keely are growing up in the North East of England.
Keely is a fighter. Even in the face of loss she strives to seek connection, but finds that she’s not always searching in the right places. Finn is quiet, sensitive, distant.
He spends much of his time alone, yet deep down he wants to discover the thrill of relating to others. When the two finally meet, everything is changed. Love – with all of its attendant joys and costs – is thrust upon them, and each must decide if they will bend or break under its pressure.
