Synopsis

Fakers is an off-beat, comedy crime caper set in the London art world. Nick Edwards (Matthew Rhys) owes £50,000 and has no way of paying-off wannabe crime lord Foster Wright (Art Malik). This is until he stumbles across a lost sketch by legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini. Problem is it's only worth £15,000. A plan is hatched; to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone cottons onto the fact that there's a scam going down.

Fakers is a high-spirited and overtly optimistiv romp through the territory of trust, love, ingenuity and the desperation involved in trying to survive.

A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
