'Harry Lighton's Pillion' is an unconventional love story that humorously intertwines romance, devotion, and loss. Adapted from Adam Mars-Jones' 'Box Hill', the narrative follows shy traffic officer Colin as he becomes infatuated with dominant biker Ray. The film contrasts Colin's traditional family dynamics, including his father's terminal illness and his barbershop quartet performances, with his exploration of subservience and desire. This relationship reveals a mix of vulnerability and excitement as Colin embraces his role, making the film both touching and provocative, akin to a blend of British humor and erotic themes.
Here to prove there's nothing gentle about true love is an intensely English story of romance, devotion and loss from first-time feature director Harry Lighton.
Pillion is adapted from the 2020 novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones: a shy traffic enforcement officer falls for the ultimate dominant alpha male.
Heartbreakingly, Colin sings with his dad's cheesy close-harmony barbershop quartet every Sunday in the pub in boaters and bow-ties.
Colin discovers in himself the ecstatic vocation of the sub as he shaves his head to fit in with Ray's supercool biker compadres.
