Following her mother’s death, Georgie, a resourceful 12-year-old girl, continues to live alone in their London-outskirts flat. She makes money stealing bikes with her friend, Ali, and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. It works like a charm until Jason shows up. Apparently, he’s her father – so long estranged that she doesn’t recognise him. Sizing him up as a rubbish dad (absent, messy, can’t cook), Georgie wonders why he’s suddenly taking an interest, especially when she’s doing just fine on her own!
Scrapper is a vibrant, joyful, imaginative story full of aesthetic energy and heart-warming charm. There is a magical quality to this father-daughter story of two emotionally tangled people: a grieving kid thrust into adulthood and a father in over his head.
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
