MetFilm Distribution has unveiled the trailer for writer/director Daisy-May Hudson’s acclaimed feature film debut ‘Lollipop.’
The film tells the story of a young mum, Molly (Posy Sterling), who is released from prison after serving four months, and assumes it will be a matter of hours before she can pick up her children from foster care. Instead, Molly finds herself in the mother of all catch-22s: she can’t get housing because she doesn’t have her kids living with her, but she can’t get them back without a roof over her head.
When Molly reconnects with her childhood friend, and fellow single mother, Amina, the two women join forces and take destiny into their own hands.
Idil Ahmed and Terriann Cousins also star in the movie which is set in East-London and backed by BBC FILM and the BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), the feature marks BAFTA-Breakthrough Daisy-May Hudson’s scripted feature film debut, and follows her award-winning documentary HALF WAY, which captured her family’s experiences of homelessness over two years.
Also in trailers – First trailer rides in for Ethan Coen’s ‘Honey Don’t!’
The movie hits cinemas on June 13th.
