Robert Carlyle (TRAINSPOTTING / THE FULL MONTY / THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH) won a Best Actor gong at Edinburgh Film Festival this year for his powerful portrayal of Shaun, and ageing slacker looking after his disabled childhood best friend.

Shaun and Daz were once vibrant kids, along with Shaun’s first love Katy who eventually escaped into a good education and job. 12 years on and Shaun reflects on that earlier intense summer of love, sex and loyalty, and goes on a journey to confront his past. This is the story of a man full of intelligence and promise struggling to reclaim his life.

WHY YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM: To see one of Britain’s best actors Robert Carlyle, here back in a character role that first caught the public attention. His portrayal of Shaun shows us a masterclass in humanity and sadness.
