Luger - Starring Hack Whitehall

Generation gaps often express themselves in viewpoints, perspectives and attitudes – and often those of the older generation can become to seem a little extreme to others. Kept within the family, they can be, well, swept under the carpet.  However, sometimes help has to be called and in Tom’s case he has turned to the services of a pair of very different nurses, Gloria and Helen to help look after his ailing nonagarian grandfather. 

The carers, played by Lolly Adefope (Ghosts - UK version) and Ellie White (The Windsors) sit down for a chat with Tom (Jack Whitehall) and he soon discovers things he never knew about his "grandpa", including the titular luger which he finds in a biscuit tin.  Whitehall is well known for his previous stirling comedic turns in Bad Education and Fresh Meat. This short film, directed by Freddie Waters (Peacock) and written by Freddy Syborn (Bad Education) stands out because it is so character driven (it mostly takes place in a single room), rather than depending on a big budget or flashy setting to interest the viewer.  Each character is beautifully written and acted and we get a real feel for the personalities involved in this “situation” comedy.
