Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In this warm Scottish coming-of-age film, gangly teen Gregory and his schoolmates are starting to find out about girls. He fancies Dorothy, not least because she has got onto the football team (and is a better player than he). He finally asks her out, but it is obviously the females in control of matters here, and that very much includes Gregory's younger sister. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |
