Liverpool, 1995. The dockers are on strike. But Siobhan (9) and her big brother Rory have other things on their mind : will their heroes Oasis beat Blur in tonight's Battle of Britpop. When a fight breaks out, Siobhan runs off into the night. She drifts around, tired and alone, and the streets seem strange and unfamiliar.

Róisín Burns is an Irish-British filmmaker based in Paris. She grew up in Liverpool, to the sound of Merseybeat, football chants, and the waves of the Irish Sea. In 2018, she directed her first first student film, Passing Tides, followed by a social documentary in 2021, Disparitions, which aired on Arte. In 2022, she joined the Screenwriting department at La Fémis, where she wrote her first feature film. Wonderwall, produced by Barberousse Films, is her first narrative short film, selected this year for Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival. The screenplay was read in competition at Premiers Plans in 2024.
