Kelly and Victor meet on the dance floor of a Liverpool nightclub, both of them on illegal highs. They spend the night together, experiencing an intense sexual relationship. These are two characters struggling to get by as best they can while the people around them are choosing illegal lifestyles; her best mate is a dominatrix prostitute, his pals are aspiring drug dealers. It’s when they get into bed with each other that their darker instincts take over. With a strong sense of location and an astutely chosen soundtrack, Kelly + Victor depicts a young couple embarking on a passionate and transgressive love affair.
