Scrapper
Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Georgie has been living on her own in a London suburb since her mother died. Every day, the wily girl manages to keep the social services away by pretending she lives with an uncle, earning money by smuggling bicycles with her friend Ali… This resourceful balance shattered when a young man named Jason, introduces himself as her long-absent father.
Far from the clichés that could lead to miserabilism, Charlotte Regan’s feature debut looks at childhood head-on, with all its pretty quirks and contradictions, and unconditionally loves its young heroine. Scrapper, in the many impulses of its form, finds those moments when mourning is done in silence, in laughter, in gentleness, and reveals an impressive newcomer, Lola Campbell.
