A Northern Soul

The prestigious director Sean McAllister returns to his hometown Hull as supervisor of the opening of the City of Culture of Hull. His comeback supposes going back to live with his now 90-yearl-old parents after two decades without doing so, and he will reflect the changes suffered by a town who has been struck by cuts in public money and funding and divided by the Brexit phenomenon. Sean will also visit the outskirts of town, where he'll meet Steve, a warehouse worker who's stuck in his job despite the creative and artistic dreams he has in mind and whom is used by the director as a reflection of his own past self. Besides working in the warehouse, Steve is a hip-hop artist by nights, representing a generation who wasn't able to fulfill their dreams; he'll see his opportunity in the City of Culture, creating the project 'Beats Bus' to give voice to kids without access to culture.
