Tobias, an unemployed British-Jamaican personal trainer, sells counterfeit tobacco for his mother who is moving back to Jamaica after deportation threats. One violent encounter with a war veteran, Rough Sleeper, a spectral reminder of his father who also fought as a British subject, turns his quick cash scheme into a haunting odyssey across South London.
The Tobacconist plays as part of the Shorts Program: Just a Dream, Like All Others
