Twelve-year-old best friends, Ish and Maram wrestle to hold onto their friendship, in the wake of a traumatic police stop & search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how ‘letting go’ can be the hardest part of growing up.

In this two-screen group testimonial on their troubled upbringing, the young men reclaim their politicised bodies as an instrument to make their own percussive music.
