and U.S. this month. “Our heroes have managed to mysteriously escape from where they were – but where were they?” says Vannuccini. “They are busy doing nothing, making small acts, to leave imaginative traces of their passage, imagined signs of being in the world.

Scratches, noises, silences, poses, runs, drinks, wounds, escapes, kisses, stealing. The world they inhabit is our own post-industrial landscape, a world scarred by the industry and sadness of the twentieth century, but in it they find beauty, and they create beauty.

They are the archetypal romantic runaways.” The BBC has commissioned eight-part coming-of-age drama series “What It Feels Like For A Girl,” inspired by the memoir of the same name by writer and journalist Paris Lees.
