Run tells the story of 17-year-old Yonni. It's the last day of term and he's avoiding everything… He's been feeling crappy all day and he's eager to get home, eager to go to his room, to avoid shabbat, and to talk to Adam. The only person he wants to be around, think about, be about…
And as the night unfolds and falls into chaos – some of it real, some of it not so – Yonni pulls us into his world… A world filled with school riots, first loves, beached whales, political demonstrations, sunshine, cinema, sex and rebellion.
Set over that summer we'll always remember and encompassing all of space, Run explores what it means to love, what it means to lose and how to grow from a boy into a man…
I fall.
And run.
I fall.
With such sheer force that I hurtle through space…
