Synopsis

Set in the 1930’s, the film centers around a social set known to the press – who follow their every move – as the “Bright Young Things.” Adam (Stephen Campbell Moore, A Good Woman) and his friends are eccentric, wild and entirely shocking to the older generation. Amidst the madness, Adam, who is well connected but totally broke, is desperately trying to get enough money to marry the beautiful Nina (Mortimer). While his attempts to raise cash are constantly thwarted, their friends seem to self-destruct, one-by-one, in an endless search for newer and faster sensations. Finally, when world events out of their control come crashing around them, they are forced to reassess their lives and what they value most.
