A story of friendship, loss and race.

"Samuel and Joseph are residents in the same house, Samuel came over from the West Indies looking for a career in law, the studious type, Joe is an elderly retired man, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship. What an incredible character study this is, a fascinating story of two men, two unlikely people becoming friends, two men with quite a lot in common, and yet many differences. That scene where Sam and Joe head to the pub and talk about Christmas to the enquiring barman was terrific, so innocent and naive. It was all going incredibly well, until racism rears it's very ugly head. ..."
