Synopsis
OLIVIA TWIST is set in contemporary times in Stoke-on-Trent, a city once renowned for industrial splendor. Olivia, an orphan from Afghanistan, is on the run and finds shelter with Bob Fagin and his gang of mercenary metal thieves. She is challenged to fight for her freedom and protect her innocence. Against the backdrop of cross-cultural tensions, the adaptation stays true to the gritty tone and social commentary underlying the original classic novel by Charles Dickens.
