Project Detail

The King of Spades

Synopsis

23-year-old Aaron returns to his hometown and reunites with his former best friend, John Gaudi. Finding John in a state of isolated depression as he struggles to find purpose in life, Aaron decides to help.
THE KING OF SPADES is strikingly original, darkly comic, touching and horrifying - but always honest in its portrayal of modern frustration. It is a film that explores the rocky terrain of early adulthood in Northern England like no other has before.
