The imminent release of film director Benjamin’s (Colin Morgan) sophomore feature plunges him into existential crisis. In this heightened state of insecurity, even meeting his potential dream match, young French musician Noah (Phénix Brossard), doesn’t soothe his fears and self-loathing. And that’s all before he has to screen his film to the merciless audiences of the BFI London Film Festival…

Benjamin sees director Amstell working in a low-key, intimate vein, exposing the contradictions of a London-centric creative culture whilst adroitly balancing drama and comedy, showing Amstell's skills as a nuanced filmmaker.
