Nick Hornby’s adaptation of Nina Stibbe’s award-winning book.
20-year-old Nina (Faye Marsay) moves from the Midlands to London to care for Joe and Max, the two young sons of a working single mother, George (Helena Bonham Carter), the editor of a prestigious literary journal.
Playful, sharply funny and fiercely bright, Nina is thrown into a sophisticated world, with only her no-nonsense attitude to guide her. Nina is unabashed but unqualified, relying on her warmth and self-taught intelligence to hold her own with the intellectuals that pass through the house. With George’s encouragement, and the attentions of a good-looking boy across the street, Nina’s eyes are gradually opened to a future of expanded opportunities… or at the very least sixth form college.
‘Love Nina’ was produced with Derrin Schlesinger for BBC Two.
‘Love Nina’ premiered at the Berlin Film Festival 2016.
