Out of Focus

It’s 1969 and 19-year-old Nick Lovell is jobless, broke, and in keeping with the times, blissfully nonchalant about his circumstances. That is until Berit Bergstrom, a model with her image plastered on nearly every double-decker bus in London, shows up on his doorstep looking for a place to stay and a shoulder to cry on.

What at first might seem a blessing quickly turns into a curse when Nick finds her presence no longer allows him to be master of his own destiny. Not only is he faced with a struggle to find footing in Berit’s glamorous world but also with his own identity as he comes to terms with his self destructive impulses and lack of confidence.
