The second film in Terence Davies's autobiographical series is an impressionistic view of a working-class family in 1940s and 1950s Liverpool, based on Davies's own family.

A compassionate look at a radically dysfunctional family set in the 1940s. The son and his mother must endure the casual and overt cruelties of the bull-necked father. The ongoing abuse takes its toll in the form of failed marriages and misguided attempts at seeking security outside the family unit.
