Sue Johnston stars in this intimate drama exploring the life of Coronation Street star Pat Phoenix. Follow her affair with fellow actor Tony Booth in the 50s that ended in heartbreak, and what eventually happened to the pair years later.
This densely-packed film is based on a book by Tom Hart about the struggles of a young Yorkshire boy trying to come to grips with squabbling parents, a doctor who wants to institutionalize him because of his epilepsy, and a mother who refuses to accept that he is different in any way -- and that is only the half of it. The boy, Tim (Andrew Hawley), also acts as a go-between for his friend Carns (Liam Neeson) who is having an affair with a married woman (Miranda Richardson). Eventually, things start to sort themselves out, and Tim sees life getting more interesting when he and his friend Win (Kate Foster) slowly get a relationship going.
Art has a rabbit, Ern a guinea pig and Abe, a mouse. They're off to astound the world of the Fancy with a triple triumph... but what about the Entwhistles!
O policial Neil Howie chega à ilha de Summerisle, na costa escocesa, com a missão de investigar o desaparecimento de uma jovem. Os habitantes da ilha, no entanto, não parecem dispostos a colaborar. Todos, inclusive a mãe da menina, negam que ela exista ou que tenham ligado para a polícia e relatado o crime. Quanto mais Howie procura, mais se confunde. Para piorar, revela-se diante dele uma comunidade pagã cheia de amor livre e folclores celtas, que vai contra tudo aquilo em que o religioso e conservador policial acredita.
