Battle for Britain

“a superb short film… illuminating, poignant… the kind of short film that leaves a lasting impression.”
— Little White Lies

Mr. Rogulski (Julian Glover) lives in Oxford, alone since his beloved wife’s death. One morning, he sets off for a walk to go and feed the pigeons.

An encounter with the helpful young Steven leads to the scooter ride of his life.

Mr. Rogulski invites his new friend into his home for tea and proudly admits it’s his 101st birthday. Steven does the unthinkable, leaving Mr. Rogulski the choice between vengeance or forgiveness.
