As kids, Shaun and Daz are inseparable, skipping school, racing bikes, knocking about down
by the lake with Katy, Shaun’s first love. Full of life, Shaun runs up against an education
system that cannot contain him. He is squeezed and eventually spat out, taking Daz down
with him as he self‐destructs.
Twenty years later, Daz is in a wheelchair and has eight weeks to live. Shaun is left to reflect
on one gilded summer of love, sex and loyalty that marked the end of his innocence. His
memories lead him to track down Katy, in a bid for personal redemption. This is a story of
bright lives unfulfilled, of hopes that are snuffed out and then, finally, rekindled.

Release Date: 26 September 2008 (UK)
Faintheart is directed by Vito Rocco and stars Eddie Marsan as Richard, a homestore employee with a nerdy passion for Viking re-enactments. However, when his latest battle causes him to be late for his father-in-law's funeral (and turn up in chain mail), his long suffering wife Cath (Jessica Hynes) realises she's had enough and begins a trial separation. Richard is convinced he can win Cath back, but he hasn't reckoned on the attentions of slimy PE teacher Gary (Paul Nicholls), who's also getting closer to Richard's son Martin (Tim Healy). Meanwhile, Richard's Star Trek obsessed best friend Julian (Ewen Bremner) begins a tentative relationship with the mother (Bronagh Gallagher) of a fellow Trekkie he met online.
