История

'Eric Sykes' started as a radio scriptwriter but he soon found he could perform as well as write. The slight handicap of being very hard of hearing doesn't interfere with his wonderful comic timing. The spectacles he wears have no lenses but contain a bone conducting hearing aid.

Лондон, 1958 год. Стоит чудесное жаркое лето. Для подростков, наконец, наступили «классные» деньки. Вся Англия с изумлением наблюдала за их выходными. После мрачных лет войны в первый раз дети ощутили себя подростками. Им казалось, что они хозяева жизни и что весь город принадлежит им. Сохо ночью наполнен светом и музыкой. Этот фильм — история любви Колина и Сюзетт, история их друзей на фоне нарождающейся молодежной культуры и межрасовой напряженности в Лондоне конца 50-х. Колин увлекается фотографией и мечтает о своей выставке, а Сюзетт работает в костюмерной дизайнера одежды. Ей повезло: ее идеи были оценены по заслугам — у нее впереди блестящее будущее. Сам модельер предлагает ей руку и сердце. Сюзетт молода, ей хочется взять от жизни все, а Колин — всего лишь мечтатель без гроша в кармане, раздираемый противоречиями.
