Septembers

the long version

Matt is a toiling history teacher, a liberal twenty-eight year old and an apologist for German Chancellor Franz von Papen. After a series of professional lapses, Matt loses his first teaching job. He moves from Sheffield to Birmingham and from teaching to bizarre historical re-enactments. When a new friendship offers the chance of redemption Matt tries to turn events in his favour and convince people of his worth. He starts to see the bigger picture for what it is. But under increasing pressure to keep things in perspective Matt leads us to a troubling confession.
