Overview
Hector has been living on the motorways for years. His once comfortable family life has been replaced by a never-ending tour of service stations that offer him shelter, anonymity, washing facilities and food. The story follows his journey south from Scotland on his annual pilgrimage to a temporary Christmas shelter in London where he finds comfort, friendship and warmth. Over the course of his Homeric journey, Hector decides to reconnect with his long estranged past. As his previous life catches up with him, the story of how he came to be leading a marginal life begins to emerge.

Peter McGinn (Rated: 7)
Hector is a quiet film, cautiously paced, which is to say if you require explosions, sex or violence to keep you alert, have a pillow handy. We follow the homeless Hector, but he isn’t the living in a box under the overpass kind of homeless. He keeps on the move, at least in the time covered by this...
