Sherry, a young runaway, meets the radical street collective SPARK - Street People Armed with Radical Knowledge - whilst living on the streets of Europe.

She travels through the continent in the SPARK van, recruiting members from street gangs and disenfranchised youths at raves and town squares, and experiencing the group's giddy thrills as well as its punishing manipulations.

Searching for a place to belong where she can still be herself, Sherry thinks she has found this in SPARK, but when her mother comes to find her, Sherry discovers that she must pay a heavy personal price for rebellion.

Alison Murray combines drama, suspense and choreographed movement in an intense, stylish and provocative look at youth culture, the struggles of parenthood, and the dark side of nonconformity.

WHY YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM: A rare chance to see the young Ellen Page of JUNO fame in an earlier role.
