The short film acting debut of Tim Burgess (lead singer ‘The Charlatans’) and directorial debut of actor Susan Lynch comes ‘The Bookshop’.

Leonard, a tender and introverted owner of a specialist bookshop, retreats into his world of music to shield him from the normality of life, a life he lives through the various customers who he observes in his shop on a daily basis. Until one day, the observer becomes the observed and his world opens up to the soulful and captivating Eliza, the only person to see Leonard beyond the confines of his restricted existence.
