Hello You

Fiona Saunders, Ben Morris

Synopsis

Hello You is contemporary and challenging; elements of a road movie, a drugs trip, a rock festival, an office party. It follows the highs and lows in the lives of Frank, Michael, Monica, Paul, Natalie and Lillian over two summer weeks. Each experience in turn is passionate, true to life and richly human; a galaxy of eccentric and loveable characters with Frank at its centre - Frank, 35, his rock-guitar fuelled music career has been on the verge-of-exploding ever since he can remember. He and Michael, 33 have never found success beyond the shed-cum-studio at the bottom of Michael's garden. The two best friends are striving to create the perfect demo tape to get the attention of the music companies.

Hello you is a dynamic kaleidoscope of contemporary Britain: A generation raised to be pop-stars face the aching void between the person they are and the person they thought they would be.

Sami, a Syrian refugee in the UK, and Bryony, an aimless young librarian, embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished Christian church. What begins as a civic protest quickly becomes a criminal case when they accidentally near fatally injure a security guard, and find themselves on the run from the police. However, our accidental heroes’ fate is sealed by a kindly police sergeant who is moved by their mission, and our odd-couple achieve their goal of saving the bell and reminding the town they both call home about the importance of remembering its own story.
