London, seventy some years later, on the
far side of decades of slow motion apocalypse. Things are pretty good
now, for the haves, and there aren’t many have-nots left. Wilf, a high
powered publicist and celebrity minder, fancies himself a romantic
misfit, in a society where reaching into the past is just another hobby.
Flynne's brother Burton (Jack Raynor) has been moonlighting online, secretly working security in some
game prototype, a virtual world that looks vaguely like London, but a

learn that some of these third-world types from the past can be badass.
After his brilliant role this year in Anatomy of a Scandal, handsome Rupert Friend will play Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache in THE YELLOW TIE movie
Rupert Friend will play the younger conductor
with John Malkovich. In a film helmed by the conductor's son, the two of them will play younger and older Celibidache whose incredible life was unknown to many of those who worshipped his music.
After telling his father he planned to pursue a career in music, he was
kicked out of home and experienced homelessness. Travelling to Berlin to
pursue his dream he encountered discrimination and prejudice but after
surviving World War II he beat the odds to win a competition that saw
him become the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s youngest ever conductor.
He went on to become one of the twentieth century’s most iconic
conductors. His unorthodox approach to music as well as his politics
made him a contentious figure in his home country and throughout the
classical music world.
