Vildhundarna is a drama far away from the Swedish reality. It's about four young people on the outermost, with norms dispersed, the only survivors in a nameless city, in a nameless country. Vildhundarna could take place in the former Yugoslavia, or why not Warszawa in 1944 or Rwanda...?

Padre Greg (Linus Roache) é enviado para trabalhar em uma paróquia em Liverpool. Ele fica surpreso ao ver que seu novo superior, padre Matthew (Tom Wilkinson), não cumpre o celibato, mantendo um relacionamento com uma mulher. Este é apenas o primeiro fator que fará com que Greg entre em conflito e questione algumas regras da Igreja. Um segundo fator é a descoberta da própria homossexualidade, quando se apaixona por um rapaz (Robert Carlyle). Mas o que mais o tortura é quando uma menina de 14 anos lhe conta que sofre abusos por parte do pai, mas Greg está de mãos atadas pelo sigilo da confissão. Dividido entre sua vocação e sua sexualidade, entre as regras da Igreja e os problemas que testemunha, Greg teme ter sua fé abalada. O filme foi proibido pela Igreja Católica.

Starring Stephen Walters, Suzanne Maddock and Amanda Mealing. Based on the acclaimed play by Jim Morris, voted Most Promising Playwright by the Financial Times and Morning Star in 1981. Blood on the Dole shows the lives of four teenagers, two boys and two girls, struggling to cope after being thrust into the real world for the first time after leaving school. Living in deprived Merseyside, the four youths' bright-eyed optimism for their futures and new-found freedom is soon crushed by the realities of unemployment, poverty, and the brutal reality of living and trying to find work in a city in decline. They all soon find themselves in the hopeless situation of facing complete dependence on state handouts, "the dole".
