UK Shorts 5

Total: 94 mins 18 secs

Hold on tight for this roller coaster of a ride of UK shorts where the sublime meets the ridiculous.  We meet a couple of criminals who need to clean up their act as parenthood looms, while a gang of mums turn psycho in order to get what they want. A jaded dance teacher sinks to new depths in a tango of lust and lack lustre, while on the train tracks of no return a chance meeting gives another breath of life.
