About
A shy London parking-ticket officer is drawn into a strict BDSM relationship by a charismatic American biker he meets at a pub.
Pillion is a romantic dramedy written and directed by Harry Lighton, based on Adam Mars-Jones's novel Box Hill. Harry Melling plays Colin, a shy, introverted gay man who lives with his parents in Bromley, London, and works assigning parking tickets while singing in a barbershop quartet.
At a pub, Ray, a handsome American member of a local biker club played by Alexander Skarsgård, slips him a note. They meet on Christmas Day in a high street alleyway, and Ray later picks Colin up at home on his motorbike. Ray brings him to his house, where Colin is initiated into a strict BDSM relationship as Ray's submissive. The cast also includes Lesley Sharp and Douglas Hodge.
