Mrs Larkin
Лондон, 1958 год. Стоит чудесное жаркое лето. Для подростков, наконец, наступили «классные» деньки. Вся Англия с изумлением наблюдала за их выходными. После мрачных лет войны в первый раз дети ощутили себя подростками. Им казалось, что они хозяева жизни и что весь город принадлежит им. Сохо ночью наполнен светом и музыкой. Этот фильм — история любви Колина и Сюзетт, история их друзей на фоне нарождающейся молодежной культуры и межрасовой напряженности в Лондоне конца 50-х. Колин увлекается фотографией и мечтает о своей выставке, а Сюзетт работает в костюмерной дизайнера одежды. Ей повезло: ее идеи были оценены по заслугам — у нее впереди блестящее будущее. Сам модельер предлагает ей руку и сердце. Сюзетт молода, ей хочется взять от жизни все, а Колин — всего лишь мечтатель без гроша в кармане, раздираемый противоречиями. Что необходимо сделать, чтобы удержать Сюзетт? Что выбрать — любовь или богатство и славу?
