Sparkle

Shaun Evans plays Sam Sparks, a young man who relocates from Liverpool to London with his single mother, Jill (Lesley Manville) – a chanteuse in local bars. In need of a job, Sam gets a position at a PR agency by sleeping with the head of the agency, Sheila (Channing), then (in a Graduate-like twist) falls for a girl closer to his own age, Kate (Amanda Ryan) – only to discover that she’s not exactly telling him everything about her... As the complications ensue, Vince (Hoskins), who arranged Sam and Jill’s apartment in London, decides to make his feelings fully known to Jill. Meanwhile unexpected twists and uncovered secrets force Sam to chose between his career and the love of his life. (official distributor synopsis)
