Kids in Love

Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of an underground, bohemian London, Kids In Love offers a new take on the traditional coming of age story. Drifting through his gap year with internships and travel plans, Jack (Will Poulter) has always suspected there was more to life than this. A chance encounter with the beautiful and ethereal Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) and her friends, including free spirited Viola (Cara Delevingne), swerves his life radically off course. She is like no one he's ever met before, and he quickly becomes caught up in a whirlwind of all-day parties and wild nights in London's hidden dives with her charismatic friends. Giving up everything to follow Evelyn and her hedonistic lifestyle, it takes Jack a while to realise what he's leaving behind, that love isn't a game you want to lose and that these people might not be the kindred spirits he first thought.

Shake your hair and have some fun

Forget our mothers and past lovers

Forget everyone

Oh, I'm so lucky

That you were my best friend

Oh, there's no one

There's no one

Who knows me like you do

Are your lights on?

Are your lights still on?

I'll keep you safe

You keep me strong

Remember when we cut our hair?

We both looked like boys

but we didn't care...

I don't know why you're not

jumpin' up and down it?

This is South America, man. Is what

our lives have been leading up to.

I do think it's been great.

I just don't think it's like...

The only option.

Dude, what the f*** else

is there to do, man?

You do the gap year, do Uni.

Then you go find a job...

- ...and then have a life.

- That's what everyone's doing, Tommy.

What about, you know, the paths

less trodden and all that?

What, Thailand? Are you kidding me?

Are you joking? We've spoken about this.

We've spoken about the ladyboy

thing, and how freaky that is.

Freaks you out!

Yeah.

It's cool that, isn't it?

Oh, it's a bit arty.

All I've seen so far...

...is a bit of side-boob.

It's ID magazine.

It's not that sort of thing.

Yeah, clearly, but

this edition just checked...

...a couple of trendy titty pics only

for the lads, get 'em going,...

...and you'll boost sales.

Jack, Jack.

People are here. Can you and Tom

please come downstairs and says hello?

Yeah, I'll come down.

Oh, you are a sweetie. Thanks, Tom.

- Come on, Jack. Come on.

- Coming.

Right, now, plenty of

opportunities here, Jack.

Right? Come on.

- Jack.

- Hi, Mr. Walker.

How are you, Mrs. Walker?

Nice to see you.

I haven't seen you since

you finished school.

Congratulations on getting

into Bristol. It's fantastic.

Oh, thank you very much.

What are you going to read?

Uh, I'm going to read history...

- ...at the moment.

- And then a law conversion.

So he'll be coming your way

for a job soon, Bill.

Yes, when your father mentioned that...

...you're interested

in doing an internship.

It'll be good to have a straight...

...down-the-line chap

like you about the place.

Oh, oh, thank you, yeah.

Um, I mean,...

...I'm not sure whether...

Ah, come on now, Jack.

Don't be modest.

I'm sure we can find

something for you to do.

I appreciate it, Bill.

So, you're taking a gap year?

Yes. Yeah, yeah, I am. With

Tom, which will be great.

I'm sort of hoping it, uh, turns

into more of a gap life, really.

Hello there, sir,

can I talk to you for a sec?

Lovely to meet you.

Take care. Alright. Bye, bye.

Smash.

The grandmas, mate, they just love you.

No, they're wise.

They know what's good.

Tom? Tom.

F*** off. F*** off.

You've gotta go and speak to her.

- I'm not gonna speak to her.

- No, you have to. Come on.

I don't wanna do it.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know, just mention

her Spice Girls jacket.

Um, excuse me, miss?

Uh, uh, I was wondering

if I could have, um,...

...uh, time, a couple

of your minutes to, uh...

...a couple of minutes to talk

about the London Heart Trust?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.

Uh, uh, so what do you,

what do you wanna know?

I'm sure that's not

what you're meant to say.

Oh, uh, no, it's not, actually. Um...

Uh, so, uh, we at the London

Heart Trust, uh, we're trying...

...to gain funding for

new research and, um...

Are you gonna say

these are gonna kill me?

Uh, well, that wasn't actually

in the speech but, um...

They're awful for you.

Right.

Sorry Jack, I was wonde...

Oh my God, you're with a customer.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I am Tom.

- Evelyn.

- Jack.

- Good, we got names sorted.

So, um, are you, are you

gonna sign up with us today?

No, I don't think so.

Well, if you've got five minutes, I can

take a break if you wanna grab a coffee.

- Well, I'm afraid I'm meeting someone.

- Brutal.

But you could walk me to that corner?

To the corner? Yeah, sure.

To the corner.

- So you're from France?

- Yes, I'm from Paris.

Oh, Paris. But you live here?

Oh, nice.

I like the jacket, by the way.

Thanks.

Which one would you be?

I'd be Scary.

No, you wouldn't.

What, don't tell me

you think I'd be Posh?

No, Baby.

Baby? Oh. She's the cutest one.

I'll take that.

What do you do?

This at the moment. Just charity.

And then, uh, traveling with Tom...

...and then probably...

No, I mean, like, what do you do?

What do you like?

What do I, what do I...?

Oh, I, I don't know.

You're not good at small talk, are you?

Yeah, it's... it's feeling

that way, isn't it?

It's okay. It's useless.

- Well, this is me.

- Oh, sure.

- Oh, it was, it was nice to meet you.

- Me too, Jack.

Okay.

And, Jack, if you're ever knocking

about, come to The Fiddler's Green.

- What's that?

- It's a pub on Frithville Place.

Sure. Okay.

See you.

Well, tell me. Come on. Tell me what

happened, man. What did she say?

She just said, uh, there's a pub.

Come to... Obviously, you're gonna go.

- You think so?

- Yes. Course you should go.

Imagine when we're at the top

of Machu Picchu, just lapping up...

...all those beautiful vistas.

Did you say "beautiful vistas"?

There are gonna be beautiful vistas.

Oh, a seven. Go on.

Mate, that's not too exciting...

...think about all those

beautiful Brazilian women.

You keep saying this.

I'm not sure why Brazilian women are

so great. How many do you know?

Not a lot. That's the whole point.

So how do you know

they're gonna be great?

I don't understand why you're

even asking that question.

Why do you think they won't be?

Oh, she's a, she's a six.

No. My judgment is terrible.

She's a four. She's horrible.

I'm not saying that they won't be,

I'm saying they'll be...

...ugly, but there are some

beautiful women in the UK, too.

And I know that you're expecting every

single one to look like Adriana Lima.

That's your only reference point.

And Gisele. Some might look like her.

And completely I'm fine with that.

I'm cool with it.

- You'll make do, okay.

- Okay, here's a thing.

Name me one Brazilian girl

that isn't hot?

- I don't know any Brazilian women.

- Apart from Adriana and Gisele?

Apart from them, yeah.

Exactly! So we're operating

at 100% success rate!

Oh, 7.5. Look at her. Wow.

I might, um, I might

Shag Issi before that.

Just get, you know,

get some practice in.

How's that going for you?

I mean, it's, you know,

I'm just playing the long game.

I don't get it, man. Issi's sort

of a b*tch to you, isn't she?

And you've been trying it for ages.

No, you should go and

see that girl in that pub...

...before you start giving me lectures

about having no chance, mate.

Yeah. Yeah, I might.

No disrespect, but you're

never gonna go some pub.

And even if you did, you

wouldn't know what to say.

I mean, I wouldn't

even know what to say.

Alright, love doctor.

Issi's having people round tonight.

Course she is. Again.

Yeah.

- You're going, aren't you?

- Yeah, I might go.

- You're definitely going.

- Yeah, I'll see.

Yeah, which means, "I have to go."

At Exeter, you get five weeks' Easter...
