A fresh take on romantic comedy, this film begins in a bathroom—and it’s certainly not in posh Notting Hill. Twenty-somethings Dom (David Jonsson) and Yas (Vivian Oparah) are both recovering from bad breakups when they chance to meet at a mutual friend’s photography show. What happens next, over the course of a night and day spent wandering across South London, is by turns unexpected, funny, and heartwarming. Director Raine Allen-Miller’s sizzling feature debut is a love letter to a place and its culture, as the streets and people of Peckham and Brixton are an inextricable part of this freewheeling film’s charm.

Tickets for this screening are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
