As humankind anticipates the split-second destruction of the universe, the lives of two ambitious rappers become entangled with a nihilistic drifter aimlessly killing time. Over the course of one lonely summer night, they embark on a surreal journey of self-discovery that defies space and time.
'Sorry, Kid' is a dark comedy about trying to live and waiting to die. An infusion of existentialist philosophy, urban decay, and hip-hop culture, Kieran Turnbull's feature-length screenplay extrapolates real-life astrophysical ideas and uses them to imagine a version of our world where we've discovered evidence pointing to the oncoming erasure of the universe. Imbued with the realization that everything to ever exist is about to vanish in the blink of an eye, how might society react? How would we cope? How would we treat each other? How would diverse communities be affected, and how would the stratification of privilege, shelter, and support disproportionately affect young kids of colour on the margins? 'Sorry, Kid' doesn't attempt to answer anything, but is instead simply interested in wondering about the world, and what it might look like for some young disillusioned kids left to watch it all collapse.
