This delightful film, released before Gregory's Girl and Local Hero, reveals director Bill Forsyth's consistency in making the most out of modest narratives about authentic characters in everyday situations.

Set in Glasgow, this story focuses on several down-and-out teenage boys who can't find work and barely can get enough to eat. Ronnie (Robert Buchanan), the most philosophical of the group, exclaims, "There's got to be something more to life than committing suicide."
He comes up with a scheme to rob a local plumber's warehouse of 90 stainless steel sinks. This isn’t going to be easy though.

The BFI have restored the original Glaswegian dialogue (a blander version was subsequently dubbed over to appease Stateside ears) and added a generous slab of extras, including several of Forsyth’s early shorts as director and as actor.
