Synopsis

Lost for nearly a century, this rediscovery offers a wonderful opportunity to fall under the spell of Betty Balfour, Britain’s ‘Queen of Happiness’. Betty Balfour was Britain’s biggest star of the 1920s, so the discovery of one of her key films was a major event. Identified by archivists at EYE Filmmuseum in the Netherlands, this Dutch-language version is incomplete, with footage missing throughout the film. This version was painstakingly pieced together by the BFI National Archive's restoration team with new English intertitles. It restores a truly vivacious performance from Balfour, and adds to the knowledge of director George Pearson, a key figure in British cinema of whose films a bare handful survive. Telling the story of a pair of working class youngsters with big dreams – a cheery chorus girl and a serious writer – the film toys with expectations, blurring the boundaries of reverie and reality, tragedy and comedy.

Synopsis

When charmingly awkward Em lands in a new East London flat, freshly fired and desperate for a do-over, she’s floored by her first sighting of AJ, the impossibly cool neighbour next door. Three seconds of prolonged sapphic eye contact later, Em plunges into a full queer spiral: chaotic DIY outfits, tragic first impressions, and a mission to decode whether AJ’s eyes are flirting, or just, you know, open. Throwing herself into Hackney life, Em stumbles into Dukes Café, the beating heart of the East London queer scene. In true romcom fashion, once Em starts showing up as herself, not the manicured version she thinks AJ wants, she just might get exactly what her little dyke heart needed all along.
