Unbelievably British

[ 12:50 ]
Unbelievably British is a short film that pastiches the five clichéd genres of current British Cinema, namely: Gangsters with wads of cash; Eloquent druggies; Romantic Comedies with an Upper Class Englishman and a token American female co-star; Costume Dramas with some frail young beauty having to decide to marry for either love or money; A Working Class Hero finding strength in the face of adversity by following some cross-gender-specific calling.
