A FILM by LLOYD EYRE-MORGAN & NEIL ELY
For Immediate Release – Films We Like is pleased to present British indie queer tragicomedy Departures by Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Neil Ely, which had its world premiere at BFI Flare where it was selected as Best of Fest.
The story begins at the end—with Benji’s painful breakup—then rewinds to reveal how their love began. Benji (Lloyd Eyre‑Morgan), a door‑to‑door salesman from Manchester, meets Jake (David Tag) by chance in an airport lounge. What starts as magnetic attraction soon evolves into a cyclical, covert relationship centered around monthly trips to Amsterdam filled with sex, drinking, and mounting emotional turmoil.
