England Away

England Away works on three levels - past, present and future - as pensioner Bill Farrell remembers his war experiences in London. Tommy Johnson fights his way through Holland and Germany for an England football match in Berlin, and Harry Roberts considers the future fuelled by doses of Dutch skunk and German speed. Exploring stereotypes of language and nationalism, the primal pulls of lust and aggression, England Away culminates in a unity of the tribes and a blitzkrieg through the streets of Berlin.
