WONDROUS OBLIVION (2003)

Cast

Plot

David Wiseman is a likeable young lad, the son of Jewish refugees, growing up in suburban England during the 1960s, his passion is cricket, a game he loves but is yet to master. When a Jamaican family move in next door and turn their back yard into a batting net David cannot contain his excitement, here are some fellow fans and they can really play. Oblivious to the increasing alienation his new friends are receiving from the rest of his neighbourhood, it is not long before David finds himself forced to make some pretty hard decisions, to stand up for what's right or to betray those he's come to love. "Wondrous Oblivion" is a warm-hearted film that manages to both deal with the central theme of racism and create a tale that is delightful and life affirming.
