Euro Pop Bubble
Over a spring weekend in Prague, FRED (22), a disenfranchised musician, is caught off guard when he falls for MATTY (23), an upbeat singer. Their blossoming romance challenges Fred's ideas about life, love, and the EURO POP CONTEST Matty dreams of winning. Years later in Berlin, Matty dies in a bike accident, isolating Fred in the city with his grief. When Fred meets TOMAS (35), they share a sexually charged winter that unearths secrets to Matty’s character and gives Fred the tools to move on. Drunkenly covering one of Matty’s songs online, Fred goes viral and is chosen to represent the UK at the EURO POP CONTEST. Whilst he initially enjoys his newfound exposure, during rehearsals in London, Fred begins to feel conflicted about his ambitions, talent and the grief narrative being built around him. Is he fulfilling Matty’s dream or his own?
