Travelling Light

Synopsis

Travelling Light is a seemingly random journey through an area of East London. The title is a play on words; the light travels from one charecter (or situation) to the next, also the characters themselves are travelling light, we are not presented with their 'emotional baggage'.

Three days in the life of four friends after which there's no going back. That moment in your life when everything changes forever. Liza (Kat Redstone) hovers precariously between change and self-destruction, between leaving her doomed relationship with girlfriend Sally and finding success with their band, Blanket. Sally (Sophie Anderson) works nights in a dead end job, clings to her fantasies of a better life and ignores the chaos all around her. Vin (Kai Brandon Ly) works as a rent boy, is secretly in love with Sally and in denial about everything else. Jamie (Collin Clay Chace) works nights in a gay cabaret bar, but longs to break free of his friends and their drug-infested dramas and settle down with a nice man. In the three days leading up to Liza's 25th birthday things finally come to a head between Liza and Sally. After a failed birthday dinner the four friends are plunged into emotional meltdown at an illegal rave and by the end of the night there’s no going back to how things were.
