Freestyle

Kolton Lee directs this British drama starring Lucy Stanhope as Ondene, a young woman destined to study law at Oxford if she gets the A-level results that her aspirational and domineering mother, Hyacinth (Suzann McLean), is hoping for. When a basketball court is set up near her private school, Ondene meets and falls in love with charismatic freestyle basketball player Leon Chambers (Arinze Kene), who also dreams of going to university despite his deprived background. But their relationship comes under threat when Hyacinth discovers the budding romance, and Ondene is forced to make some tough decisions about her future and the man she loves.
