An update of Gogol's comic story about a man who thinks the way to his boss's heart is by sending letters to her dog. Starring Steve Evets, Yasmin Mills and The Fall's Mark E Smith

Eleven-year-old Steve is the smallest boy in class. He thinks girls are soppy, detests football and prefers painting.

His best mate Stuart is the only solid thing in a comfortless world where people argue too much… usually about Steve.
