Richard Ayoade's directorial debut is an idiosyncratic coming-of-age drama about a teenage pupil navigating the often peculiar trials of his school and home life while also discovering love. At home, 15-year-old Oliver Tate has to deal with parents Jill and Lloyd's troubled marriage which comes under further threat with the arrival of her ex, Graham, a narcissistic guru. Meanwhile at school, Oliver falls for classmate Jordana Bevan. Their chemistry, and the ups and downs of their blossoming adolescent romance, is imaginatively realised, as the hormonally-driven Oliver makes ambitious plans to lose his virginity.
