The camera drifts across a cluttered, dimly lit bedroom somewhere in suburban England. Four teenage boys sit in a loose circle, the air stale with the smell of cheap lager and teenage angst. Simon picks at his sleeve, eyes fixed on the floor. Will pushes his glasses up his nose with a sigh of theatrical disdain. Jay leans in, already building another improbable story around a smirk. Neil gazes absently at a stain on the ceiling, completely adrift. It’s a perfect, chaotic snapshot of awkwardness, crude humor, and unspoken longing, setting the scene for their latest doomed attempt to connect with you.
