Film Synopsis
Will has just set himself up as a landscape architect in King's Cross,
London. His relationship with his partner Liv is strained and a
series of robberies from his office provides a welcome
distraction. Exasperated by the thefts, he follows one of the
young hoodlums to the place where he lives with his mother, Amira, a
Serbian refugee. Curious to find out more about the crooks, Will
enters Amira's world and finds himself increasingly drawn to her...
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
