homeless drama with heart

The working-titled picture is the first feature for photographer Jake Gavin. The heart-warming tale follows a homeless man who decides to seek out his old life after years of wandering aimlessly. It follows Peter Mullan’s character over the course of a wintery fortnight as he heads south from Scotland to a temporary Christmas shelter in London and finally an emotional reunion with his long-lost family. Hector (which was originally titled Victor) is produced by Stephen Malit, producer of Julien Temple’s documentary London – The Modern Babylon, with Scottish co-producer Simon Mallinson,David Raedecker
