Borrowed Time

Desperate for cash to pay back a psychotic crime lord, hapless teenager Kevin is persuaded to break into the house of an eccentric recluse. No sooner is he through the window, however, than he comes face to face with the grumpy old owner, Philip, brandishing an antique rifle. Kevin manages to escape, but with his sister out of patience and his friends nothing but trouble, he has nowhere else to go other than back to Philip's house. Against all odds, a fragile bond gradually develops between would-be burglar and victim, a friendship that will take them both on a personal journey of discovery and redemption. Starring Phil Davis and Theo Barklem-Biggs, this cross-generational comedy is enough to defrost even the most cynical hearts. (Matchbox Films)
