66 MONTHS

For 66 months, Nigel survived under the radar of social services. This is a dark, lonely and often dangerous place to inhabit. Eventually, Nigel found Robbie, a violent Glaswegian, who, in the absence of anyone else, became his carer. Together they lived in poverty in the midst of the dreaming spires of Oxford. Shot over a 6-year period, this film chronicles the complex relationship between the two men. Alcohol, mental illness and sex all play a part and the film raises many difficult questions about the nature of love, abuse and society’s duty of care. But at its core, this film is a love story, an acutely observed portrait of a dysfunctional relationship within a dysfunctional world
