My Old School

Some stories are so crazy that only real life can write them. When 16-year-old Brandon Lee starts his school year at Bearsden Academy in Glasgow in 1993, he immediately stands out from the crowd: Not only does he have exceptional knowledge and talent, but he has also a strikingly charming manner, exquisite taste in music and a tragic family history – until the house of cards made up of his lies collapses. Filmmaker – and Brandon's former classmate –Jono McLeod tells in a highly enjoyable way and a pinch of 90s nostalgia the almost unbelievable story of a bizarre con man. The protagonist's original statements are lip-synced by actor Alan Cumming.
