Growing up with a love for cricket
Palm Pictures presents a film directed by Paul Morrison. Here is an engaging coming-of-age film that revolves around cricket. David Wiseman (Sam Smith) has a love for cricket that is only equaled by his inability to play the game. One day David's family gets new neighbors in their rental district in 1960's London - a family of Jamaicans lead by the father, Dennis (Delroy Lindo). Dennis and his family also love cricket. They build a cricket net setting off events that teach David how to play cricket, to recognize racism and stand up to that hate and fight it, and how one treats true friends. Strong performances come from Smith, Lindo, and Elily Woof as Ruth, David's mother.
