Pond Life

Summer 1994, in a quiet mining village just outside Doncaster, rumour stirs about a giant carp in the nearby decoy ponds. Young Trevor keeps watch one night at the water’s edge. The following night, he leads a brigade of friends and neighbours on a fishing expedition. In a world of broken families, cassette tapes and rumbling political fever, these friends, each with their own struggles to bear, share a moment of harmony as they witness the carp for themselves. - Borderlines Film Festival
