Young love is unexpected. These couples tend to fall in love from different upbringings and worlds. And with any young love, it could lead to stupid decisions.

In A Brixton Tale, a young and affluent documentary filmmaker falls in love with her film subject, who grew on the streets of Brixton, England. However, an incident that causes him to defend her honor sends the couple into a whirlwind of trouble.

The film stars Jaime Winstone, Ola Orebiyi, Lily Newmark, Craige Middleburg, Barney Harris, Michael Maloney, Dexter Padmore, and Rose Kerr. Darragh Carey and Bertrand Desrochers directed the movie from a script written by Carey, Rupert Baynham, and Chi Mai.

Here’s the logline for the film:

A voyeuristic, wealthy vlogger finds herself drawn to a handsome, shy youth from the infamous Barrier Block housing project. Their relationship with each other, and with the camera, leads them down a dangerous path.
