The premise of the film is stated by a group of four writers conversing over dinner at the beginning of the film. The question arises: Is life naturally comic or tragic? One of the four proposes a simple story (a distraught woman knocks on a door and disrupts a dinner party) and the two prominent playwrights in the group begin telling their versions of this story, one being comic and one tragic.

Will (Bill Milner) is quiet and shy, and comes from a family that belongs to the strict Plymouth Brethren church. Will is forbidden to watch films or television and is made to leave his classroom when the teacher puts on a documentary. In the corridor, he meets Lee Carter (Will Poulter), the worst-behaved boy in school, thrown out of another class for bad behaviour. They accidentally break a fish bowl in the corridor; Lee volunteers to take the blame, pretending that the punishment is torture, in exchange for Will's watch, which belonged to his dead father. Moreover, Lee demands that Will performs the stunts in a film Lee is making with home video equipment owned by his bullying older brother, Lawrence (Ed Westwick), which Lawrence uses in his video pirating enterprise. He intends to enter the Screen Test Young Film-Makers' Competition.

Le vélo de son père, des matériaux récupérés dans une décharge, l'aide de quelques villageois devraient lui permettre de construire une éolienne. Au Malawi en pleine période de sécheresse, celle-ci lui permettrait peut-être de faire fonctionner une pompe servant à irriguer les terres brûlées par le soleil. Arrivera-t-il à sauver sa famille et son village de la famine. Du génie à l'état pur ou brut surtout de la part d'un gamin de 13/14 ans. Une histoire vraie et un beau film qui relativise nos petites difficultés.

Il s'agit de l'histoire d'un disc-jockey très populaire de Washington des années 60, Ralph « Petey » Greene, un Afro -Américain et ancien prisonnier qui devint une figure emblématique des droits communs dans les années 60 à travers ses programmes radios qui traitaient principalement du racisme, de la pauvreté, de la drogue et d'autres problèmes de la société américaine. Le film retrace la période allant de 1966, année de l'entrée professionnelle de Petey au WOL (une station locale de radio de Washington), à 1984, l'année de sa mort (Petey décéda d'un cancer du foie le 10 janvier 1984).
