Description
Glasgow, 1971. A community's way of life is under threat as the shadow of the wrecker's ball looms large over their homes. They face a choice: move to a new estate or disperse throughout the city. Powerful friendships refuse to be broken by this planning scheme. Instead, these characters will face it with the same inimitable Scottish humour and strength of spirit that have carried them through other tough times. This vivid portrait of Seventies Glasgow recreates its particular time and place in glorious detail. At its heart are universal themes of love, friendship and community, making for a compelling story that explores what truly matters to us all.
