Synopsis

Hannah loves her Dad and always wants to be seen next to him. But during the preparations for an anti-immigration protest at her house she is pushed out, being seen as too young to get involved. Hannah cycles into the countryside to let off some steam and meets a teenage Romany boy whose family are working in the fields.

Hannah does her best to insult and push him away but the boy won’t leave her alone, leading to consequences which turn her world upside down.  Patriot director Eva Riley speaks about the film below.
