Description
Stephen Wheatley's return to the site of a childhood summer in wartime London is sparked by a familiar yet disturbing aroma. As he pieces together his memories, a quiet suburban street comes alive with the game of espionage played by two boys: Keith and Stephen.
Their innocent pursuit of secrets and surveillance takes a sinister turn when Keith utters six shocking words, transforming ordinary family life into adult catastrophe. Childhood innocence, secrecy, lies, and repressed violence are gently laid bare in this powerful exploration of what appears to be happening before our eyes.
