Seaside Special

SEASIDE SPECIAL is an affectionate, up-close-and-personal look at Britain's last original “end-of-the-pier” variety show and how its local heroes prepare for the 2019 summer season. A tribute to handmade entertainment, with typical English humor. No effects, no celebrities, no digital tricks, but very British, authentic, funny, thrilling. At the same time, the film is an attempt by an Anglophile German to understand why Great Britain is tearing itself apart so thoroughly. In the sleepy seaside town of Cromer in Norfolk, we meet a colorful ensemble of inspiring and original characters and experience a microcosm of modern Britain in the midst of tremendous change.
