Juno Temple plays American debutante Lucy Savage faced with a culture
shock.
David Costabile will play Lucy’s larger than life father, Grant Savage,
an arms manufacturer who wants to control his daughter, wiith Amy
Landecker as his loquacious wife Vanessa. Having set Lucy up with an
English Lord, Hugo Cavendish Smythe (played by Harlots, Poldark and Star Wars star Hugh Skinner) Grant
thinks he has a malleable, potentially useful son-in-law but
unbeknownst
to the Savages, Hugo has already lost his heart to someone else. Matt
Lauria will be Bill, a bartender and bohemian artist who works in
neighbourhood nightclub El Sirocco and soon becomes a confidante of both
Lucy and Hugo. Although he is not what he seems and his flirtation and
the hand of friendship offered to Lucy and Hugo is very much a cover for
some more nefarious motivations.
As Lucy fights to carve out her independence and identity, her life
becomes intertwined with Cherifa Lamour (Yumna Marwan), a Moroccan
dominatrix who services the diplomats and foreigners of this colourful,
bohemian world and Egyptian Aristocrat Adham Abaza (Raphael Acloque),
and they all become entangled with some very dangerous characters. Nina
Sosanya, Rossy De Palma, Jean Marc-Barr and Raphael Acloque also star.

Sounds suitably racy!
ReplyDeleteHope it will be explicit and saucy, we've seen a lot of Hugh Skinner's gorgeous bum in Harlots, it is very white and peachy :) Stuff of dreams...
DeleteI bet the Moroccan dominatrix is quite a feisty character. We may need to keep a high powered fan beside us to cool down with after watching this!
ReplyDeleteShould be really fun, Sky is really doing some nice drama in recent years.
DeleteThe Moroccan... dominatrix?
DeleteIndeed!
DeleteI suppose Little Birds is the kind of movie that best adresses teens and their parents. Anyway, Morocco is not a recommendable place for young westerners.
ReplyDeleteIt is not? I thought Morocco was one of the few Muslim countries safe for tourists, no? I like their queen, Lala Salma. And I love that over there, men go around holding hands (it is their habit to hold hands with friends, so you can see even grandpas walking around holding hands, so lovely).
