Synopsis

They flickered in and out of sight, between the passing cars, as if a strobe light was on them. She watched them from the corner of her eye, as they appeared and disappeared, like ghosts.

Childhood friendships are simple things, and when ‘90s grunge girl Alex meets the twins next door her bond with Gavin and Banny seems meant to be, held together by their shared language of music.

‘It Just Is’ – Rilo Kiley

‘Very Best Friend’ – Proud Mary

‘The Swimming Song’ – Loudon Wainwright III

Yet as they grow and change, so too must their relationships with each other, and the easy joys of outdoor swimming and Aunt Ruby’s tablet are slowly overshadowed by all the things that never were and those that never should have been.

‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ – Echo and the Bunnymen

‘Twilight’ – Elliott Smith

‘Fade into You’ – Mazzy Star

A snapshot of the nineties/noughties spirit and a poignant exploration of how childhood friendships and first loves echo through the years, Fade Into You presents a tale of mixtapes, the millennium and the impossibility of moving on.
