It’s 1973; in a public lavatory, Nicky shaves his head, watched by an older man. Publicly, Nicky is a neo-Nazi, but in the public toilet, he’s gay. “You forget I knew you were a queer long before I knew you were a fascist.” Spanning 20 years and inspired by a true story, Foam examines the nature of identity and the consequences of right-wing extremism against the backdrop of London’s skinhead and gay scenes of the 70s and 80s – confronting the flashpoint where the terrifyingly personal and the violently political collide.
