Project Detail

Bingo Queens

Synopsis

A modern fairytale about queer friendship, inner-city loneliness and the redemptive power of platonic love... It takes place in London and tells the story of Aleks: a struggling musician trying to move on from the disappearance of his ex-lover; and Lulu: a transgender ballet dancer on the brink of giving up on her career.
They are both dreamers. Both romantic. Both stuck... like birds of paradise with clipped wings. They meet amid the spit and the slurs of a transphobic attack. After a spark of friendship is ignited, they take flight into the city, the story takes on a dreamlike turn - leading us to a faded old Bingo Hall in South London and ending up on its roof as the sun rises pink over the pale morning sky.
