During a time of political turmoil in 1970s Glasgow, a troubled and isolated 12-year-old boy has become a stranger to his own family. Haunted by a secret, he is drawn to the canal where he creates a world of his own. In her breathtaking debut feature, Lynne Ramsay (We Need To Talk About Kevin) creates a haunting evocation of innocence and difficult childhoods.
