When a Jamaican family move in next door and set up a cricket net in the garden David can't believe his luck- they even offer to coach him.<BR>However, this is 1950s England, and when the neighbours start to make life difficult for the newcomers- David is forced to make choices between fitting in and his new friends. David's own family were immigrants from wartime Germany- having also suffered bigotry in Britain, difficult choices have to be made.

  • A Proper Feel Good Film

    You don't have to like cricket to like this film A very entertaining story set in London in the fifties with a backdrop of the racial tension of the time, which is handled sensibly and with sensitivity, mainly featuring on a young Jewish lad who loves to play cricket but is not what you'd call good at it and the relationship he forms with his two new West Indian neighbours. A film that just makes you smile throughout. A typically good British independent film.
