Kenneth Brill is an unremarkable schoolboy but he has one remarkable talent, his ability to draw. Through this he is thrown into Bohemian 30s London. This talent also leads him to become part of the allied camouflage group in North Africa, tricking the Germans through elaborate concealment. Alongside this he is introduced to sex (via life drawing classes in Soho brothels) and his own fumblings with his future wife April. What Gerard does uniquely is to take great subject matter and provide a surreal take based on true stories.
