Results Day (2023)

Set in the inner city of Handsworth, Birmingham, UK - Results Day is a coming of age story that follows “book-smart” Curtis and “street-smart” Jordan, best friends and inseparable since childhood. Curtis dreams of leaving Handsworth while Jordan dreams of ruling it. But opening their A-level results reveals a surprising twist - Curtis, despite all his revision, has not done as well as he hoped, while Jordan, despite not revising at all, has done better than anyone expected. Curtis is disappointed. His results have altered the perception of himself, Jordan and the trajectory of his life. Jordan’s only worry is the reaction when he takes his results home. The looming threat of an uncertain future causes the tension between them to escalate into an argument putting them at odds with each other. As they make up and part ways the bitter-sweet reality of their fates finally sets in… Their exam results mean things will never be the same again.
