A frightened boy pretending to be a man. A disabled woman defying stereotypes. A romance gone wrong. Five by Five is an explosive series of short films which sees award-winning actor and producer Idris Elba working alongside some of the UK’s most exciting acting and writing talent. Exploring themes including adulthood, romance, race and violence with a positive and darkly humorous spin, these intertwining stories and seemingly recognisable characters challenge our ideas of identity, perception and the ways we choose to represent ourselves.
