Nobody Loves You and You Don't Deserve to Exist

Synopsis

As the United Kingdom is brought to its knees by COVID and Brexit, a working-class English teacher, lost in redundancy, poverty and alcohol in Manchester, takes us on a poetic and powerful journey through Broken Britain: as an abused boy under Margaret Thatcher in 1984, as a deranged student under John Major in 1992 and as a haunted man under Boris Johnson in 2020.
