I Swear

Profanity flies thick and fast as a man with Tourette’s takes his revenge on society in this feel-good indie hit from the UK.

In 1980s Scotland, football goalkeeper John is on the brink of a promising future when uncontrollable tics and verbal outbursts shatter both his dreams and his family life. Thirteen years later, he is trapped in a cycle of medication and institutions, diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome. His prospects for a normal life seem bleak—until an unexpected friendship is rekindled and he is offered a second chance. The remarkable true story of the foul-mouthed yet kind-hearted John unfolds into two emotionally charged hours of cinematic warmth, as Scotland’s finest actors leave us with renewed faith in humanity.
