Ali & Ava

Ava's met a guy who's full of soul, he loves his punk and rock but folk don't make him roll, she's been single for a while, from a partner who was wild, used to kick her with big boots to keep control. Ali's in marriage that's come apart, his wife is leaving him, to look for a fresh start, but he's taken to Ava, thinks she might be a raver, although her son's quite prejudice and hopes to thwart.

Cultural differences and backgrounds abound, but that won't stop Ali and Ava pursuing each other to bring some warmth into their cold and often isolated and lonely worlds. Two top drawer performances in a not unfamiliar story against a rugged northern background.
