Description

A stone-broke gay actor and a privileged screw-up with a failing business cross paths on a winter night and join forces in a quest around London to find a meaning to their miserable lives, but when their unlikely connection turns into something deeper, fears and demons from their past come to jeopardise the whole mission.

    It’s Christmas time and “Lukas” (Jack Brett Anderson) is having a quiet pint on his own when a guitar-wielding gent approaches the bar and tries to blag a drink. He’s given short shrift by the barman so he just pinches his own pint and disappears. This just sends the already dejected “Lukas” onto the bus home where he, again, encounters his wandering minstrel. He’s called “Oliver” (Alexander Lincoln) and isn’t anywhere near as broke as he’d pretended. Keen to make amends, he suggests they go for an an an apology beer. “Lukas”, forewarning that he is gay, reluctantly agrees and this sets in train a night in London that exposes both men to each other and to us. Along the way, they meet the charismatic and homeless “Dan” (Jimmy Ericson) and play some music at the struggling jazz club of “John” (David Bradley) - which, coupled with their brief stop in a headphone disco, did pass salient comment on the paucity of communal interaction from amongst the stay at home social media classes - but essentially this is just a two-handler between the two men with Lincoln proving quite impressive. The plot is a bit all over the place, but there are some keen observations contained within the plentiful dialogue and Anderson’s understated contribution foils well with the more exuberant one from a Lincoln delivering a character with more depth and flaws to him that his initial bravado might suggest. Is it a love story, verbal diarrhoea or just some catharsis - or maybe all? It’s not perfect and at times completely loses it’s way, but I did quite enjoy it and it’s worth a watch if you’re patient.
