What Is AKA About?

The premise of AKA without spoilers.

Lies are like wishes; tell enough of them, and some become reality. Set in 1970s Britain, the film follows 18‑year‑old Dean, who feels limited by his working‑class background and family expectations. Determined to improve his prospects, he adopts a false identity, gaining entry into high society and chasing the life he desires.
