25th anniversary of Lynne Ramsay's powerful debut film.
Set during Scotland’s national garbage strike of the mid-1970s, a poor adolescent boy struggles with the hopelessness that surrounds him. Following an accidental death, the guilt-ridden child dreams of a better life. An evocative, lyrical tale of hope among the ruins, Lynne Ramsay’s first feature marks not only one of the most important British films of the ‘90s, but the arrival of a striking, new cinematic voice.
