After a woman is murdered and her husband is accused of the crime, the couple’s son (Ben Chaplin) hunts for the real killer and uncovers Brighton’s dangerous underworld.

In this lively ‘80s drama, a middle-aged bloke and his former colleague are trying their luck in the job market. Almost anything goes.

The Optimists tells the story of Sam, a street performer with a unique outlook on life. Sam befriends two children who have led hardknock lives and teaches them to look at life from a new perspective. The novelty of having a song and dance man as a friend soon turns into something much deeper, as Sam realizes that the children have just as much to teach him about life. Set amongst a wonderful London backdrop, Peter Sellers stars in one of his most charming and tender roles ever in The Optimists.
