Me without you

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

During a long, hot summer in seventies London, young neighbours Holly (Michelle William) and Marina (Anna Friel) make a childhood pact to be friends forever. For the troubled, unpredictable Marina, whose vulnerability is well concealed beneath a selfish, sadistic streak, Holly remains the only constant in Marina's life of divorcing parents, experimental drugs and fashionable self-destruction. Meanwhile, Holly buries herself in her books out of frustration with her over-protective mother and a nagging insecurity about her beautiful and possessive best friend. She holds just one secret from Marina: her increasing passion for Marina's brother Nat (Oliver Milburn).

The bond between the young women grows through the years as they share all the pleasures and pain that life has to offer, including sex, love and rock and roll. For Holly, however, a friendship that has never been equal gradually begins to feel like a trap. As her relationship with Marina becomes increasingly claustrophobic, she must decide whether true happiness lies in a life with - or without - her best friend. A vibrant evocation of the fashion and punk musical styles of 70s and 80s Britain, the poignant and mischievous Me without you will strike a chord in anyone who has ever lived through friendship and survived to tell the tale.
