God and Dave

Director: Mark Simon Hewis

Year: 2012

A romantic comedy with a subversive yet uplifting message. Based on Matt Thorne’s award-winning novel of life in a Bristol Call Centre. Having chosen the easiest office job he can find, Dan wrongly assumes that no one will have any expectations of him and he can get on with his simple ambition for an easy life. These hopes are wrecked when a misunderstanding with his mother results in his sudden eviction from home and he must resort to secretly living in the call centre with his cat. A complex web of secrets and lies leads Dan into a series of increasingly bizarre and uncompromising scenarios and he is gradually stripped of everything he has taken for granted: clean clothes, an iPod, friends, and his self respect. His future is on hold, his life is in limbo, and morality has also been temporarily suspended. It is only the fragile blossoming love affair with the one person on the team who is possibly worse off than himself that eventually provides Dan with the courage to create a romantic ending that defies conventional expectations.
