Last Night in Soho 2021




Eloise "Ellie" Turner loves the music and fashion of the Swinging Sixties and dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Her mother, also a designer, killed herself during Ellie's childhood. Ellie occasionally sees her mother's ghost in mirrors.

Ellie moves from her rural home near Redruth, Cornwall to London, in order to study at the London College of Fashion, where she has trouble fitting in with her peers, particularly her snobbish roommate Jocasta. Only John, another student, is sympathetic to her. Unhappy in the hall of residence, Ellie moves into a bedsit owned by the elderly Ms. Collins.

That night, Ellie has a vivid dream in which she is transported back in time to the 1960s. At the Café de Paris, she observes a confident young blonde woman, Sandie, inquire about becoming a singer at the club. Sandie begins a relationship with the charming teddy boy manager, Jack. The next morning, Ellie designs a dress inspired by Sandie and discovers a love bite on her neck.

Ellie has another dream in which Sandie successfully auditions at a Soho nightclub, arranged by Jack, before returning to the same bedsit that Ellie has rented. Inspired by these visions, Ellie dyes her hair blonde, changes her fashion style to match Sandie's, uses her as an inspiration for her dress designs and gets a job at a pub. She is observed by a silver-haired man, who recognises her similarities to Sandie. In further dreams, Ellie discovers Sandie is not living the life she had hoped for, and Jack begins to pimp Sandie to his male business associates.
A young girl, passionate about fashion design, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to be falling apart with shady consequences.
