Pillion

Colin works during the day as a parking attendant and shares dinner with his parents at home by night. His harmonious life is disrupted upon meeting the charismatic Ray. He is the irresistible and handsome leader of a queer motorcycle gang, whose members celebrate their freedom in an unusual way. Among the kinky bikers, Colin discovers a desire he never knew he had. Director Harry Lighton delivers a daring debut film that is brimming with courage and emotion. Alexander Skarsgård (‘True Blood’, ‘Succession’) and Harry Melling ('Harry Potter’, ‘The Queen’s Gambit’) shine in the leading roles. ‘Pillion’ is based on the novel ‘Box Hill’ by Adam Mars-Jones and aims to break down stereotypes surrounding BDSM. At the Cannes Film Festival, the film won the award for Best Screenplay in the section Un Certain Regard.
