A sudden bereavement throws Luke, a fiercely independent young man with Down's syndrome, into a daunting new environment where he finds unexpected support from Eve a feisty, streetwise carer, and Pete, a complex local lad dealing with his own demons. Luke's search for solace leads to an encounter with a desperate young girl in need of help. While friendships bloom, long-buried secrets are revealed, and Luke verges dangerously close to disaster. My Feral Heart is an award-winning, understated character study bolstered by critically acclaimed performances, distinctive cinematography and a deeply evocative score. A warm-hearted yet hard-hitting drama about new beginnings, the power of unforeseen friendships, and the remarkable effect of one young man on the people he meets.

Though frustrated, their good humour and positivity land them odd jobs and a temporary shelter. A story of love, hope and survival in the darkest of times.
