G:MT Greenwich Mean Time

In the bustling streets of late‑1990s London, a handful of fresh‑out‑of‑school friends gather beneath the towering trees of Greenwich Park, dreaming of a future that pulses to the beat of their own music. The city’s gritty charm and its relentless, cut‑throat music industry form a restless backdrop, promising both breakthroughs and heartbreak for anyone daring enough to chase a note beyond the ordinary.

Charlie is a restless photographer with a motorbike and a head full of images, while his girlfriend Lucy provides both encouragement and her own yearning for stability. Bean carries a trumpet and the weight of a strained home life, seeking refuge in his brass‑filled solos. Rix spins beats and keys, balancing his creative drive against a demanding personal life, and Sherry, his lively partner, wrestles with her own dreams of motherhood. Sam inherits a modest fortune and industry connections, stepping into the role of manager with a mix of confidence and unease, and Bobby anchors the group on bass, her quiet determination grounding the ensemble.

Together they forge a nascent band, blending electro‑jazz textures with the raw energy of youthful ambition. Their rehearsals in cramped garages and makeshift studios become a sanctuary where friendships tighten and romantic tensions simmer. Each member confronts family expectations, financial pressures, and the ever‑looming question of whether their art can survive the merciless demands of a commercial world that prizes profit over passion.

The film glides between the vibrant, hopeful cadences of their music and the stark, often unforgiving reality of London life. It captures the electric optimism of a generation on the brink of adulthood, the tangled web of love and loyalty, and the persistent echo of a trumpet that refuses to be silenced. In this atmosphere of possibility and peril, the characters’ intertwined journeys hint at both triumphs and trials yet to unfold.
