The Potts household is a second home to teenage slacker, Magic, who’s such a part of the furniture that his longing for eccentric beauty Paula Potts goes completely un-noticed: he’s just her twin brother’s best mate. With the family set on a course of self-destruction, fueled by an old enemy of Dad’s - and Paula arguing with her imaginary friend about running off to Ibiza with the local slime-ball, Magic realises that he only has a few hours to save the family, get the girl and change all of their lives forever…
Drawing on a social fund set up by Glaxo Smithkline, the world’s biggest drug company, to benefit the people of Speke / Garston - an area of chronic unemployment with one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe - this unique collaboration between a group of teenage first-time scriptwriters from the community and Liverpool-based production company Hurricane Films was described by Helen Walsh in the Guardian as “the best British film you’ll never see.” So – because you should never say “never” to the Salford Film Festival Team - we’re giving you the chance to see it!
