Ellie, a 9-year-old girl from an abusive household, tries to escape her reality by taking refuge in a scrapyard with her friend Pete. There, they build a new home and dream of another existence. Vasco Alexandre wrote and directed this drama, inscribed in the so-called British “kitchen-sink realism” tradition, whose standouts include Ken Loach and Andrea Arnold, addressing real problems of helpless people exposed to poverty and several forms of violence.
