Romantic but also realistic. Julie is a young film student who is trying to make a film telling the story of a young boy and his mother in Sunderland. It is not very easy and she is worrying about what her professors will think of that. Meanwhile she goes to class and attends parties with her film school friends. She meets Anthony who works for the government and from then on her life is complicated since she fells in love with him and they begin to live together. That does not go well since Anthony has a troubling and mysterious behaviour going in and out very often till Julie discovers that he is consuming heroin. At a certain time he becomes overdosed and dies. She returns to school and her film after having lost her former innocence. All this is well shown and performed by all the cast.
