Deux jeunes gens se cherchent du regard dans un pub londonien, échangent quelques mots, se revoient. Lui tente de percer dans la photographie, elle est danseuse. Ils partagent la même ambition, les mêmes blessures et bientôt un amour aussi fusionnel que tendre.

Le racisme insidieux qui abîme et la peur qui étreint lorsqu'on sort de chez soi.
