Set in the estates of Greenock in Scotland, Liam (an astounding performance by new-comer Martin Compston) dreams of the family life he never had. With his mum to be released from prison in time for his 16th birthday, Liam is determined that things will be different. And that means creating a safe haven beyond the reach of wasters like his mum's boyfriend Stan and his own mean-spirited daughter.
But first he's got to raise cash - no mean feat for a skint teenager. It's not long before Liam and his pals' crazy schemes lead them into all sorts of trouble. Finding himself dangerously out of his depth, Liam knows he should walk away. Only this time, he just can't let go.

Kes of the Abso Generation
30 years after Ken Loach's defining film 'Kes' was made he's outdone himself with one of the most gripping dramas I've seen in a while. The film follows Liam, played by the terrific Martin Compston as he tries to raise money for his mothers impending release. Obviously things don't go well and is left a different character by the end of the story. Ultimately it's about consequences of desperate actions, and is handling so well by Loach that it packs a real emotional punch. Highly recommended!
