The Goob

Atmospheric British coming-of-age drama about a Norfolk teenager who falls for a pretty fruit picker while his mother takes up with a bullying stock car racer.

Goob Taylor has spent each of his 16 summers helping his mum run a transport cafe and harvest the surrounding pumpkin fields of the Fens. When his mum shacks up with stock car driving supremo and ladies' man Gene Womack, Goob becomes an unwelcome side thought. However, Goob's world turns when exotic pumpkin picker Eva arrives. Fuelled by her flirtatious comments, Goob dreams of better things.
