Once, Neil Marlow's life was a spontaneous festival of frivolity, friends and funk music. Now, it's one of OAPs, weekly bingo and ready-meals. Neil Marlow (aka The Rev) has chosen a life of the cloth above a life of liberalism.

The struggle of repression and rejection, of the vain attempt to leave a part of himself behind in the belief that he will somehow be happier if he inhibits his true self.

Quirky canine enthusiast Nel is eager to win over her new foster sister Zadie, but when an incident pushes the latter to flee in search of her estranged birth mother, the pair find themselves on the run to Birmingham in a stolen ambulance. For Nel, their unforeseen road trip presents an unmissable opportunity to attend the greatest dog show on earth.

Inspired by true events, Kotti is a film about a bunch of misfits whose fight for justice captured the hearts of the nation. It is a story of unlikely friendships and the power of community to triumph over prejudice and oppression.
