Netflix have released the official trailer for the upcoming dystopian drama film The Kitchen.

.

The official synopsis for the film is as follows:

In a near-future London, Izi, a hardworking loner, is counting down the days until he can leave The Kitchen, the estate he grew up on, and move to one of the sleek luxury penthouses that are popping up all over London. But when he discovers through his job at an ecological funeral home that his ex-girlfriend has passed away, Izi finds his path colliding with that of Benji, her young son.

Meanwhile, the residents of The Kitchen – the last remaining untouched social housing in the city and a hub for bustling community – fight back against those trying to destroy it. When Benji comes to The Kitchen in search of his father, Izi is forced to step out of isolation and become a de facto guardian. But is his bond with Benji actually stronger than he wants to admit?

As the fight to save The Kitchen rages on, Izi, Benji and other residents are forced to band together and even take drastic measures to save their community.
