Project Detail

Lunatic

Synopsis

Lunatic shares laughter with tears as we drift on a tumbleweed journey into the world of two South London brothers and their associates.

Bill and Perry, the brothers, are small time entrepreneurs. Howard, Dave and Laurie are their partners. The chaps get the bulk of their money from collecting rents on ex-council properties that they acquire through a scam.

The main character of the story ‘Bill’ takes the viewer through two days of events that he persistently blames upon an impending full moon.
 
With tender-sweet moments of love, laughter and south London banter, entrepreneurs, sidekicks, wives, lovers and friends push the film towards its conclusion of revenge with wonderful street humour and colour.

Infidelity, betrayal, suicide and murder crash onto the screen with an authenticity rarely witnessed.
