Trailer – “Freestyle” (Love And Basketball, London Style)

By Tambay, on February 15th, 2010

Previously profiled on this blog last June by MsWOO (read that post HERE). A trailer has finally surfaced.

The story goes… Ondene (Lucy Konadu) is beautiful, talented, and destined to study law at Oxford if she gets the required A-Levels. Nothing less will satisfy her domineering mother, Hyacynth (Suzann McLean). When a basketball court is set up near her private school, Ondene is charmed by a charismatic, good-looking freestyle basketball player, Leon (Arinze Kene), and they decide to enter a competition.

From a deprived background, Leon dreams of going to university and needs to win to pay his way. Ondene deceives her mother to be with him, and romance blossoms, only to be crushed when Hyacynth finds out. Balancing her future prospects and her newfound passion, Ondene has to make tough decisions about her family, education, and the man she loves.

Featuring a cast of fresh faces, Freestyle opens in the UK February 26th.
