Synopsis
Suspenseful, seductive, and sensitive. The Sundance Film Festival award-winning PLANCLOTHES is a beautifully acted romantic thriller starring Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) and Russell Tovey (The History Boys). The evocative directorial debut feature from Carmen Emmi is a compassionate and tension-filled portrayal of suppressed sexuality and seeking acceptance. Set in 1990s New York State and inspired by true events, a working-class undercover officer is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets.

Reviews
“A tantalisingly slow-burn 90s-set drama ... The audience is held claustrophobically tight as the cat-and-mouse game plays out.”
— Screenhub
“Carmen Emmi compellingly mines thriller tropes to capture the fraught experience of suppressed sexuality, but it's Lucas and Andrew’s heart-rending, beautifully performed love story that endures.”
— EMPIRE MAGAZINE
“… the heat builds in unexpected ways, ultimately igniting through the quiet agony of living as someone you’re not.”
— New York Times
“The relationship between Lucas and Andrew feels effectively raw, largely thanks to the performances from Blyth and Tovey.”
