Corner Shop

Zoheir immigrated in the 70s and has run the local corner shop ever since: king of his own little kingdom. Into his shop walks Danny, tired and at the end of his tether. All Danny wants to do is pick up some beer and cigarettes and go home to his family. 'Corner Shop' explores the moment when tensions and frustration unexpectedly boil over. Touching on elements of race and conflict, 'Corner Shop' is focused more on the often ignored, quiet, unsung reality of human compassion. 'Corner Shop' is a taut and emotional piece of drama that captures a small snapshot of British life.
