The Custard Boys (1979)

Genre : Drama, Family

Runtime : 1H 22M

Director : Colin Finbow
Writer : Colin Finbow, Kiran Garcha

Synopsis

An Indian summer, 1942: "When I was thirteen, all I wanted to be was a hero." A young evacuee's response to the surrounding war-obsessed adult world seems the only one available to him, until he forms 'a particular friendship' with another boy, a Jewish refugee. This threatens the stability of his gang (who also mirror the racist/jingoist attitudes of adulthood), and he is caught in Forster's great liberal crux: your country or your friend?
