Description: It's 2011 and 1958 and London is rioting. Candice is ordered by her gang-leading boyfriend to lure Clint into a honeytrap. Haunted by her grandfather's mistakes, she stands at a crossroads. Will she do as she's told, or will she learn to be true to herself before history repeats itself? A modern tale for riotous times, 'Advice for the Young at Heart' examines 2011's unrest against the background of the 1958 race riots, exploring themes of race, family and misguided loyalty.
