Kevin is a young man in the wrong crowd who's totally run out of cash but is in desperate need to pay back a local gangster named Ninja. Used to only petty crime, he is thrust into a more serious way of picking up money after his friends suggest he try burglary to pay his debt. He ends up breaking into the house of Philip - a pensioner who threatens him with a gun on his arrival. He holds Kevin hostage in his home, but the pair begin to bond over their similar personal issues. Kevin doesn't want to be a pathetic petty thief anymore and he wishes that his ex-girlfriend would take him back, while Philip would do anything to have his youth and agility back.

'Borrowed Time' is the filmmaking debut of director and writer Jules Bishop. It's a wonderful comedy about discovering the important things in life, and goes to prove how people of different ages have different priorities. The movie premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2012 to much praise from both audiences and critics, and its distribution to British cinemas was funded as a Kickstarter project which raised them more than £20,000 earlier this year.
