In a 1990s Midlands town, youth from local housing estates are struggling to find purpose. Recently returned to his town, Alan Darcy (Bob Hoskins) interrupts their lives by reviving the local boxing club of his youth.
Directed by cult favourite Shane Meadows (This is England), TwentyFourSeven charts the story of working-class youth finding friendship, self-respect and meaning in post-industrial Midlands. Shot in black and white and scored with classical music, this alternatingly heartwarming and confronting story is threaded through with a sense of undeniable hope.

Re: TwentyFourSeven
Fingers crossed that this may also add on Shane Meadows' two BFI-funded short films that came out before this debut feature, with Smalltime and Where's The Money, Ronnie!
While looking those up, I found a collection of adverts apparently directed by Meadows! Which shows that McDonalds adverts were not only for the likes of Ken Loach! (And it is nostalgic to remember back to the time when banks had actual brick-and-mortar branches)
