"The acclaimed British director Ken Loach (Kes, The Gamekeeper) brilliantly captures the soaring unemployment and dashed dreams of 1980s England in this moving, unflinching portrait of working-class youth. With a strong feel for the characters and the industrial town where they live, Loach paints a heartfelt portrait of three young friends whose "looks and smiles" soon become desperate as they struggle to make it. Dreaming of becoming a motorcycle mechanic, Mick vents his frustration in street brawls and falls for a pretty shoe store clerk while his friend, Alan, finds unexpected happiness in the army, policing Northern Ireland's battle-torn streets"--Container.
