Mitchell takes us back to the
British capital in the summer
of ‘77, one of those culturally
pivotal years, much like 1963,
when change is in the air and
rubbish lies in the streets. Enn
(Alex Sharp) is a snotty-nosed
punk who hangs out with his ob-
noxious mates, penning a punk
fanzine, attending sweaty gigs
in basements, and of course, at-
tempting and failing to get laid.
Enn’s luck changes when he
finds himself at a party in a large
squat that houses a mysteri-
ous tribe of latex garbed aliens,
whom the lads dismiss as be-
ing from California due to their
propensity for yoga and strange
mantra warbling. One of the
aliens, Zan, takes the form of a
teenage girl (Elle Fanning), and
wouldn’t you know, grubby little
Enn is immediately smitten. Zan
runs away from her fellow aliens
and begins to explore Earth, or
at least the town of Croydon,
with the obliging Enn.
