Synopsis

Ed, a cheeky and chaotic 10-year-old schoolboy, sets his sights on playing Loki in his class's production of "The Vikings." After working surprisingly hard, he earns the role, only to have it stripped from him when his playfulness escalates into arrogance. Relegated to a background role, Ed can't resist one last rebellious act, determined to leave his mark at any cost.

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit.
