SYNOPSIS

An unlikely romance between Kaden and Lucas, two teenagers resigned to work the East Riding strawberry fields over the Summer, is threatened by the shame and violence of being discovered. In East Riding, Yorkshire, seventeen-year-old KADEN reluctantly takes a job at the local strawberry field over the Summer. A quiet introvert, KADEN clearly doesn’t fit in with the other farmhands, who are all older, more experienced, and treat him with contempt. It is here he encounters LUCAS, an aloof eighteen-year-old who has worked at the farm for several Summers now. Underneath his initial indifference, LUCAS hides a deeper curiosity for KADEN. Desires disentangle in this new, uninhibited, and sun-drenched environment, as the two boys tentatively begin to explore their feelings towards one another in secret, a kinship that forces them to confront their own internalised homophobia, shame, and sense of belonging.
