Movie
The story takes place entirely on one morning on London's Hackney Marshes. It follows a small number of characters as their stories play out during Lea Valley Rangers must-win match against Forest Road Athletic -- Lea Valley's first chance to win the league in living memory. At the heart of 90 minutes is the story of Jack -- an introverted and sensitive 17-year-old boy who comes to the marsh to watch his estranged father play. He's not interested in the football; he spends the entire game wandering the marsh listening to his music where he meets Naima. Jack and Naima find a rare connection with each other as they share their stories of dysfunctional family life. As the story progresses, Jack realises how he needs to stand up to his dad and tell him how he feels. In a volatile conclusion, he will get his chance to change their relationship forever.
