STUCK narrates the relationship between an ambitious young man and his barber uncle, whose shop – and way of life – are threatened by a looming local redevelopment project. When a letter from the council arrives promising a bright new future, clashing perspectives spark a battle neither of them realises is already lost.

As the uncle’s early dementia brings hidden struggles to the surface, the nephew is forced to confront what home really means – before it disappears forever.

STUCK articulates the inner thoughts of the everyday people subject to processes of regeneration. Centring young people’s voices, this timely story blends the soulfulness of gospel and an orchestral score with the raw energy of grime, drill and Afrobeats. Personally and politically charged, STUCK is about community and nostalgia, and the fight to hold onto the places – and people – that shape us.
