"Both central performers are impressive in this brief but engaging snapshot of teenage life in England" Sam's friends don't like the boy (Sam Retford) who hangs out on the swings. They don't like the estate that he comes from. They say that he's scummy and smells. When Sam (George Webster) explains that he has a crush on the boy, nobody seems to hear him. So he goes over by himself to say hello, and it's that start of an unexpected friendship. The boy, as it turns out, is also called Sam.
