Very Scottish. A great, unindulgent and unsentimental snapshot of awkward teenager life. Not much plot, but it didn't need one anyway…

Painfully slow throughout and you presume the story is going somewhere and going to build into something but goes absolutely nowhere…

A nice little teen romance, very much in the vein of John Hughes (shades of Some Kind of Wonderful in particular)…
