UK, 2025, 107 mins. DIRECTOR: Harry Lighton WITH: Harry Melling, Alexander Skarsgård, Lesley Sharp, Douglas Hodge, Anthony Welsh The British Christmas rom-com meets BDSM in Harry Lighton’s feature debut. Colin (Harry Melling) lives with his parents in a quiet English suburb. Between his job as a parking enforcement officer and choir practice, he’s struggling to find a date - until Christmas Eve, when he goes on a sizzling date with Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), a mysterious biker passing through town. The two embark on a sub-dom relationship that, while initially uncertain for Colin, gradually transforms his life. Blending humor and eroticism, Lighton offers a fresh take on the rom-com genre, bringing BDSM into the mainstream spotlight. The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge, the Eastern region, and throughout the UK.
