Synopsis

Siblings Maisie and Tony, along with their mother, gather for their sister Eileen’s wedding. It is a joyous occasion, but through flashbacks it becomes clear that the family was not always happy. Their father was physically abusive to his wife, and left the children emotionally traumatized.

MUBI's take

While Ken Loach is the best-known British auteur when it comes to portraying working-class lives, don’t forget this moving masterwork by Terence Davies. Drawing on his upbringing and paced to the rhythms of 1940s popular songs, Davies’ first feature length drama is a family story flush with passion.
