Waris Hussein’s acclaimed drama is based on the autobiography of Firdaus Kanga, who stars in the lead role of Brit, a young man born with brittle bone disease, which causes him to have never grown beyond four feet tall. The film follows his sexual awakening whilst his family simultaneously disintegrates all around him. An extremely moving drama confronting stereotypes around disability, sexuality and race, featuring a powerhouse performance from Kanga.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
