Kerrie Hayes, Nichola Burley, Jamie Doyle

A star footballer announces a transfer abroad. His two biggest female fans have other ideas…

Lindy Heymann’s gripping and thought-provoking feature stars Nichola Burley (EIFF/Skillset Trailblazer 2008) and newcomer Kerrie Hayes as Liverpudlian teenagers devoted to their favourite football player, Lee (Jamie Doyle). When Lee’s move to Spain is announced, the girls resolve to change his mind – by any means necessary. A tense thriller that provides sharp and eloquent comment on WAG culture, beautifully shot by Eduard Grau (EIFF/Skillset Trailblazer 2007).

    Not particularly taxing but really very well acted and shot.
