Synopsis

• The film is about a boy called Jimmy, who is 15. Juggling his troubles of home and school life, this film represents the minority of teenagers who feel excluded by society and how they deal with this.


• Jimmy lives alone with his Mum. When he was 13 his Dad got sent to prison for the possession of cocaine. This has disrupted Jimmy's school and home life as his Mum is very depressed and he gets bullied at school. He doesn't have any friends and spends the majority of his time alone.


• At school, there is a girl that he likes. He spends endless lessons staring at her until she catches his eye - in a bad way.


• In his free time he goes to the park and watches the world go by. This makes him seem like a loner and even more of a reason for people to make fun of him.


• However, he does confide in someone. A little toy doll, which he has named after his crush. He says that this doll is his friend and he carries it around with him everywhere. This reveals that he has a psychological problem. As this is introduced, you get an insight into his previous experiences of being with a psychiatrist. His Mum forced him to go after his behaviour became slightly more lonesome.

• The ending takes the audience back to where the beginning set off, which gradually reveals the story, setting a circular narrative.
