Ginzel’s Little Cordoba

Ginzel’s Little Cordoba tells the story of a pair of 16th century homeless young men who team-up to rob, cheat, fight and generally cavort their way to London along the pilgrim trail. The two lads swindle their way around, trying to earn a crown or two to reach their dream of Venice. And through various scenes of strange encounters, they find themselves in deeper and deeper troubles until a treacherous gang leader makes them choose between radicalisation or death. Fast forward 500 years we find two young men sitting at a London café debating their lives and work, and the meaning of it all.
