A lyrical exploration of music and memory told through a journey home from work. Co-written and directed by Lucy Allan, Jemima Foxtrot fuses spoken word and song to explore how music attaches itself to memories, people and places. From funk and soul to folk music, Jemima tells a funny, poignant story of childhood, displacement, growing up, love, heartbreak and joy.
