Wimmy Road Boyz

Three young British Muslim men are driving up and down Manchester''s Curry Mile in pursuit of a wild night. There''s Immy, an impulsive smooth talker with a broken heart; Haris, a neurotic artist having second thoughts about his upcoming wedding; and Khan, a Cambridge graduate and wannabe gangster with nothing left to lose. As a feverish evening takes a hold of them against a backdrop of bright lights and shisha bars, the boys don''t realise their first night out in so long will also be their last . . . Wimmy Road Boyz is a vivid and blistering story of masculinity, friendship and violence set over the course of a single, surreal night from a wholly original new British talent.
