Inappropriate

Inappropriate is a restrained British drama that unfolds almost entirely through conversation. Set inside a police station, the film follows Oscar, an “appropriate adult,” and Jordan, a teenage offender, as a routine safeguarding duty turns into something far more personal. Through subtle dialogue and layered performances, the film explores shared alienation, mistrust, and the quiet failures of authority. Carefully composed camera movement, controlled lighting, and an understated visual style draw the viewer deep into the emotional space between the characters. A precise, humane short that lingers long after it ends.
