Treacle Jr.

Directed by Jamie Thraves

For reasons he prefers to keep private, architect Tom abandons his life as husband and father and takes to living on the streets of London. After a run-in with a tree and some much needed medical attention in A&E, Tom strikes up a rather odd friendship with Aiden, a child-like chatterbox whose carefree façade hides his own difficult life. Featuring a standout performance from Aidan Gillen, star of popular American drama The Wire and Channel 4’s ground-breaking British television series Queer as Folk.

Including a post-screening Q&A with director Jamie Thraves.
