London, 13th October 1993. The day England are to play Holland in a critical World Cup qualifier. The Bosnian war is at its height, Sebrenica is besieged and the UN are preparing relief airdrops. A Serb (Dado Jehan) and a Croat (Faruk Pruti) meet on a London bus. Recognising each other as fellow refugees from the same village in Bosnia they immediately renew their contract by attempting to beat each other to a pulp. Their subsequent manic chase through the streets of central London sets the scene for the eclectic comedy of BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE which tracks the inter-linked and troubled lives of four British families whose encounters with refugees from the war in former Yugoslavia help them to see the beauty that exists in their own lives.
