Photograph on Poster

Two main characters walking out of school at the same time...

This shot of the two boys walking on opposite sides of the pavement represents them at the beginning

of the film. They are two boys from completely different backgrounds; however have a lot in common.

They cross each other’s paths daily yet know nothing about each other. This picture symbolises them

living parallel lives at school, but going home to something different as the perspective of the

pavement suggests. Their paths in life are different but they can still relate to each other, social class

does not have to determine friendship groups.
