Synopsis:

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 favorite Shane Meadows ( This is England ), TwentyFourSeven charts the story of working-class youth finding friendship, self-respect and meaning in post-industrial England. Shot in black and white, and featuring music by Tim Buckley, The Charlatans, Van Morrison and Paul Weller, this alternately heartwarming and confrontational film is threaded with a sense of undeniable hope.
