Synopsis

Wayward pop star turned film composer Sir Peter Pilger faces the challenge of his life: To deliver a Requiem for his former college St Jude’s in time for the Memorial Celebrations while facing down revelations about his past and living up to his new authority as High Master. Freighted in to lead his struggling alma mater through the rising tides of university fees, student unrest and political correctness, he neglects his hypochondriac wife and ungovernable teenage kids to turn upside down the institution he is meant to rescue. But it is not from his misspent youth as an undergraduate at St Jude’s and not from the modern student body that his biggest trial emerges, but from the kitchens, where a time bomb ticks amongst the migrant college staff in the dazzling cellist Anastasiya, who remembers more about him than he does. His Requiem lays nothing to rest. Not his libido. Not even his conscience.

Drifting through his gap year with its internships and travel plans, Jack (Will Poulter) has always suspected there was more to life than this. A chance encounter with the beautiful and ethereal Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) swerves his life radically off course. She is like no one he's ever met before. He quickly becomes caught up in a whirlwind of all-day parties and wild nights in London's hidden dives with Evelyn and her charismatic friends. Giving up everything to follow Evelyn and her hedonistic lifestyle, it takes Jack a while to realise what he's leaving behind, that love isn't a game you want to lose, and that his new 'friends' might not be the kindred spirits he first thought they were.
