Description This exceptionally entertaining British drama catapults its audience from the confines of a West London garden shed into the magical world of one man’s imagination, blurring the boundaries between the real and the surreal. Disillusioned with his humdrum life, John Jump finds solace in exploring the infinite possibilities of his own ‘wanted self.’ Our hero transports himself and his best friend Derek to a world of virtual infidelity, Swedish au pairs and Hollywood actresses, escorting the audience on a darkly comic, bizarrely hallucinogenic journey that goes deep into the mind of Homo suburbanus. This voyeuristic glimpse of one man’s dreams combines edge of the seat narrative precision and timing to create a domestic tale of epic proportions.
