Just Another Firework

Synopsis

Would you let the end of the world spoil your holiday plans? This smart London couple will have none of it!

Venice has been destroyed and Paris is occupied by the same army that invaded Barcelona, so how about a change of plans and do a safari trip to Africa instead of a European city break? There is only one problem:
their neighbour, Cassandra, interrupting their cosy winter evening with a reminder of the relentless bombs that keep falling over London. She’s so negative!

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.
