Alexis Zegerman's Lucky Seven turns the camera on our fascination for reality television.
Working-class Alan, upper-class Catherine and middle-class Tom are part of a social litmus test, reunited every seven years to expose themselves to the nation. But waiting on the sofa for director David to arrive, they reveal far more to each other than they ever will to camera.
Inspired by the Granada Television reality show Seven Up!, Lucky Seven is a comedy about growing up, class, love, disappointment and hope.
