Hector (2015)

Hector: Directed by Jake Gavin. With Peter Mullan, Keith Allen, Natalie Gavin, Sharon Rooney. Hector has been living on the motorways for years. His once comfortable family life has been replaced by a never-ending tour of service stations that offer him shelter, anonymity, washing facilities and food. The story follows his journey south from Scotland on his annual pilgrimage to a temporary Christmas shelter in London where he finds comfort, friendship and warmth. Over the course of his Homeric journey, Hector decides to reconnect with his long estranged past. As his previous life catches up with him, the story of how he came to be leading a marginal life begins to emerge.

“A movie that makes you happy and sad at the same time. Movies are made to make us react with our heads and our hearts and this does both.nPeter Mullan and Ewan Stewart especially are excellent. Well worth watching.”
