BBC Two - My Summer of Love

An unlikely bond develops as working class tomboy Mona meets the spoilt Tamsin.

Drama charting the unlikely friendship that develops over the course of a summer between working-class Mona (Natalie Press) and well-to-do Tamsin (Emily Blunt).

Drama from acclaimed director Pawel Pawlikowski (Last Resort). 

In the Yorkshire countryside, working-class tomboy Mona meets the exotic, pampered Tamsin. Over the summer season, the two young women discover they have much to teach one another, and much to explore together. Mona, behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life; Tamsin is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. Complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction. Adding volatility is Mona's older brother Phil, who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor - which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture. 'We must never be parted', Tamsin intones to Mona.
