Awayday

Synopsis

Brighton. Late August. Teenage companions brash Wayne and shy Chris take an awayday to catch the last of the summer girls. After a shaky start they meet two girls on the pier who cause more trouble than the boys could ever have imagined. Chris wanders off to the beach, where he meets the perfect girl who is beyond his reach. The awayday closes prematurely, leaving everyone a little more worldly wise.
