Scrapper

This vibrant and inventive father-daughter comedy follows Georgie (Lola Campbell), a resourceful 12-year-old who, following the death of her mother, secretly lives alone in her flat in a working-class suburb of London.  She makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali (Alin Uzun) until out of nowhere, her estranged father Jason (Harris Dickinson) arrives and forces her to confront reality.  As they adjust to their new circumstances, Georgie and Jason find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do.  Winner of a Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Scrapper is full of spirit and humour that sets it apart from much of British working-class cinema.
