Screening of one episode, in the presence of the creator Hugo Blick, and the actor Bill Nighy.

Synopsis

In the hazy UK summer of 1975, the peace of a secluded caravan park is disrupted by the arrival of Lela & Bee. Buried troubles resurface as their presence awakens a reckoning.

 

Note from the artistic direction

A dream cast for Hugo Blick’s new BBC series, which marks a very different proposition from The English, set in a caravan park in a corner of rural England, rarely seen on screen. Shot by shot, line by line, he infuses it with a poetry and tenderness that leave us wanting only one thing: more.
