Summary

For ten months of the year, two men are drawn to adjacent seats in a stadium, carrying the burdens of life and pouring all their hopes into their beloved but ailing team. Fatherless and fretful, the young man is trying to nurture a precarious new relationship and to find his place in the world. The old man, an increasingly isolated carer for his fading wife, knows he has little left to look forward to. Neither fan is a comfortable talker. However, in a slow-motion play of nods, silences and guarded chats, they strike up a tentative friendship across the generational gap. Told through thirty-eight chapters - one for each game of the Premier League campaign - 'Season' is a lyrical, hypnotic and gently uplifting study of loneliness and modern masculinity.
