#popsummer20 #summerbeforecollege
A bittersweet story of lifelong friendships, nostalgia for youth, love and devastating loss, written with such heart, compassion and sensitivity.
It‘s the summer of 86, as a gang of young Glaswegians take a road trip for the ‘Festival of the 10th Summer‘. These lads are full of bravado and exuberance, formed by the books and music they love and the movies they endlessly quote..... (continued below 👇)

KarenUK Through the eyes of quiet Jimmy, and the charismatic Tully, we spend a wild weekend with them, as they dance, drink and joke the time away.
Jump forward 30 yrs and this friendship is no less significant to these men, as they face Tully‘s terminal illness and his final months.
Funny, moving and ultimately so heartbreaking, I loved it.
