, Regan’s working-class British drama has a straightforward premise that belies its nuanced commentary on imagination, grief, love and family.
Twelve-year-old Georgie recently lost her mother to an unnamed illness. Still, she’s doing just fine on her own, thank you very much. She’s walking herself through the five stages of grief. She’s living on her own and has managed to trick the social workers into thinking she’s living with an uncle. She’s keeping her and her mom’s small apartment clean, cooking for herself and stealing bikes with her best friend Ali to make money for rent and food.
Then a young man shows up claiming to be her father and upends Georgie’s carefully crafted life. Jason turns out to be telling the truth—it’s just that he hasn’t been around since Georgie was a baby, and they don’t really know each other at all. For a while, both father and daughter struggle to negotiate a relationship built only around their memories of a woman who is gone. Jason seems as unsure how to be a father—or even if he wants to be—as Georgie is doubtful of his suitability as a parent—particularly since she has convinced herself she doesn’t need anyone.
