Beautiful People
A comic collision of chaos and coincidence
Directed by Jasmin Dizdar
Produced by British Screen Productions, Arts Council of England
A darkly comic ensemble piece that uses football rivalry and refugee displacement to explore how chaos and human connection collide across cultural divides.
In London, during October 1993, England is playing Holland in the preliminaries of the World Cup. The Bosnian War is at its height, and refugees from the ex-Yugoslavia are arriving. Football rivals, and political adversaries from the Balkans all precipitate conflict and amusing situations. Meanwhile, the lives of four English families are affected in different ways by encounter with the refugees.
