World premiere. With film guests
Malachi Smyth has directed the film as a very distinct and unusual British musical. With charming, slightly nostalgic folk lyrics, which smoothly blend the character dialogue from inner worlds and drive forward the action. The music was written by Johnny Flynn, who was last seen in the classic romance film "Emma" and in the musical David Bowie biography "Stardust".
