Darlun rhyfeddol o gyfeillgarwch platonig rhwng ieuenctid, ar draws cenedl, dosbarth a hil.
Follows Greg, a 17 year old loner and his ‘business assocaite’ Earl who bond over their inexplicable affinity with world cinema, remaking the classics ( A Sockwork Orange to Pooping Tom).

Wonderful depiction of deep bonds of platonic friendship between teens across gender, class and race.
