Femi (as a child, played by newcomer Tai Golding) is a British boy of Nigerian heritage who, after being fostered in rural Lincolnshire, moves to a diverse, deprived areas of inner-city London to live with his birth mother, leading to a profound shift in his sense of self. In his teens, Femi (continues to struggle with the culture and values of his new environment and finding out what it means to be a young black man in London during the early '00s, must decide which path to adulthood hie will take.
Featuring stunning performances from an outstanding cast, the film offers a timely and profoundly compelling study of Britishness and young black masculinity.
