Directed with great flair and imagination, this hugely entertaining short musical – in which a dapper young gent, who falls in love with a fashion model, cycles through the streets of London, which are filled with custard pie throwing, raspberry blowing commuters – proves to be an irreverently bizarre, swooningly romantic, and really rather unique little gem.
