This vivid story leaps from country to country, decade to decade, person to person amongst a huge cast. It feels like a theatrical performance, grounded in unromantic reality but made up of glittering big moments and magical small ones. All this framed by the contemporary world of west London in the 1990s, which drifts past Lucas as he tries to untangle the histories that have left him and his sister moored in their listing canal boat.
