Set in Leeds, Penny Woolcock's high-spirited comedy drama tells the story of two families (one white, one Asian) whose paths cross unexpectedly on the 'Mischief Night' of the title - a Yorkshire version of Hallowe'en where chaos reigns and events spiral rapidly out of control… This bold and ambitious feature presents an often gritty but ultimately uplifting account of race relations in contemporary British society.
