Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies) and Harry Melling (The Queen’s Gambit) star in this acclaimed, kinky “dom-com”, from writer-director Harry Lighton (Wren Boys, QSFF18).
Colin (Melling) is a directionless wallflower letting life pass him by. That is until Ray (Skarsgård), the impossibly handsome leader of a motorbike club, takes him on as his submissive. Uprooted from his dreary suburban life, Colin’s introduced to a community of kinky, queer bikers and uninhibited BDSM sex. But as Colin steps deeper into Ray’s world of rules and mysteries, he begins to question whether the life of a 24/7 submissive is for him. Has he found his calling, or simply swapped one form of suffocation for another?
Winner of the Un Certain Regard Best Screenplay at Cannes, Lighton’s feature debut was adapted from Adam Mars-Jones’ critically acclaimed novel Box Hill. Alongside mesmerising performances from both leads, Lesley Sharp (The Full Monty) is a stand-out as Colin’s no-nonsense mum, while Jake Shears (The Scissor Sisters) makes his screen debut as a fellow cheeky sub.
