Submarine is a 2010 coming-of-age comedy-drama film adapted from the 2008 novel of the same name by Joe Dunthorne. The film was written and directed by Richard Ayoade and stars Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Sally Hawkins, Noah Taylor and Paddy Considine. Submarine is Ayoade's directorial debut. Oliver Tate is a 15 year-old Swansea boy in 1986. He is in love with a mischievous but straight-talking girl named Jordana in his year, and goes as far as bullying an overweight classmate to impress her. One day she invites him to meet secretly after school, instructing him to bring a Polaroid camera... and a diary. She takes pictures of them kissing, but it turns out to be a plan to make her ex-boyfriend jealous. The plan backfires, the two are publicly bullied, and Oliver is beaten up for refusing to call Jordana a "massive slut". Walking home after their ordeal, she takes his hand and they kiss, and Oliver quickly establishes Jordana as his girlfriend. At home, Oliver becomes concerned that the relationship and sex life of his parents is falling apart and that his dad is depressed.
