SOHO, LONDON 1959
Jazz dictates the rules of engagement.
Musicians command the streets.
Booze is the currency of choice.
Sex is the preferred language.
Drugs is the business of the future.
Words get lost in the mayhem.
ADRIFT IN SOHO.
Experiment the film.
Five individuals with different backgrounds are brought together by chance to take one last look at a world that is about to change right in front of their eyes. Harry Preston, a young philosopher from Leicester arrives at a surreal neighbourhood full of unusual characters that seem out of time and out of place. The mood is of a pre-apocalyptic scenario where everybody knows their fate but refuse to accept it.
ADRIFT IN SOHO is based on the 1961 novel of the same name by COLIN WILSON and is produced by Burning Films Ltd in the manner of a 1950s Free Cinema documentary.
