Take 3 Girls captures the spirit of London's
vibrant but dangerous multi-cultural youth music
scene and the ties that hold it together - music,
clubbing, hopes and dreams. It's about growing up
and the redemptive power of family love .
Three girl musicians from different backgrounds
are at the heart of the film. Lyla is a beautiful
Indian girl with a voice like an angel. Patsy is
a tough talking squatter whose DJ skills are second
to none. Spot is a rapper with a dark secret. One
night Patsy and Spot sneak into an empty warehouse,
intent on putting on an illegal rave. The warehouse
belongs to Mo, a bankrupt businessman, who hides
his financial problems from his wife Romila, still
grieving the death of their daughter eight years
ago. The police break up the rave and report the
incident to Mo, who chooses not to press charges
against the girls. They've given him an idea. He'll
use money that he's safe-keeping for a friend to
finance the conversion of his empty warehouse into
London's hippest music club, with the girls as the
main attraction. They are the same age Mo and Romila's
daughter would have been.
As the film progresses, an unlikely new extended
family forms; Mo and Romila help the girls grow
up. In turn their grief is healed.
The five central characters provide each other with
the support each needs to escape a past of gangsters,
violence and life on the edge that threatens to
destroy their dream.
