A Room for Romeo Brass

Synopsis

Set in Nottingham, A Room for Romeo Brass tells the tale of schoolchildren Romeo and "Knocks" - neighbours and best friends. That friendship is damaged, however, when an older man named Morrell arrives on the scene. At first, the Morrell seems harmless enough, if something of a sad loner - but soon he comes between Romeo and Knocks, before revealing himself to be far more dangerous than first thought. Nothing in this marvellous film comes sugar-coated - but is all the more impressive for it.
