CinemaSerf7 Jul 17, 2025With Britain in the grip of some sort of dystopian heatwave and everyone confined to their homes, “Elliot” (Zak Ford-Williams) decides to used the last battery he possesses for his electric wheelchair and sets off to rendezvous with his boyfriend “Aaron” (Nadeem Islam) in the hope that they can make it to the safety of the green zone. Along the way, he encounters a couple of older folks who try to take advantage of his kindness but with the sirens wailing and his power running very low he determines to make one last effort to meet up for a dance. Aside from the fact that this reminds us of just how dependant we actually are on batteries nowadays, it’s also quite a potent little feature on true love mixed with a survival instinct and a touch of stoic joy. It’s not really about the writing or the production, which are perfectly adequate, it’s more about that sense of who we’d want to give our last Rolo to.
