Synopsis

A celebration of home and belonging in South London. This is a film that tows the line between documentary and narrative, and celebrates neighborhood and the rhythms of everyday life in South London. Friends for over a decade, their closeness runs through the piece; rooted in lived relationships, it resists spectacle in favor of quiet intimacy.
