A docufilm blending reality and fiction to explore the tensions between working-class existence and the way it is perceived. A young photographer travels to her hometown Peterborough after being commissioned by a prestigious gallery for an exhibition focused on rising working class voices. Everywhere she turns she sees faded versions of the city she lived in most her life, with shops and community spaces closed. Her own memories force her to search for a corner shop that she believes is the key to unlocking the emotional core of the project – but no one else remembers it, so must go on a journey to find it. Frustrations increase as she is caught between a conflict – does she have the right to represent a place she turned her back on and how to do it without catering to the art elite. Interwoven within this narrative are interviews with people of Peterborough help create a picture of working-class life told by the people who live it.With a community-based filmmaking approach, the film places power back in the hands of the people who are used to being spoken for.
