20-year-old Nina (Faye Marsay) moves from the Midlands to North London in the 1980s to care for Joe and Max, the two young sons of a working single mother, George (Helena Bonham Carter), the editor of a prestigious literary journal. Playful, sharply funny and fiercely bright, Nina is thrown into a world of sophisticated bohemianism, with only her no-nonsense attitude to guide her. She is unabashed but unqualified, having dropped out of school. Relying on her warmth and self-taught intelligence Nina manages to improvise, with the many intellectuals that pass through... the house. With George's encouragement, and the attentions of a good-looking boy across the street, Nina's eyes are gradually opened to a future of expanded opportunities or at the very least sixth form college. Brought to the screen by SJ Clarkson (Jessica Jones), Nick Hornby's (About a Boy) fictionalized adaptation of Nina Stibbe's award-winning book Love, Nina' is a sparkling, life affirming drama celebrating family and friendship in all its chaotic glory.

Unqualified and feeling out of her depth in the capital, after moving from Leicester, Nina tries to adjust to the bohemian world she finds herself in while trying her best to care for George's two young and wild boys. Along the way she forges new relationships and ponders avenues for the future while writing about her experiences in letters home to her sister.
