Synopsis: There's a group of heroin addicts in a economy depressed area in Edinbrugh. One of them has the possibility to leave this mad world, but the rest of them won't get out.
Why do I recommend this film: This story reflects a possible real situation of suburban people. Evaluates how different and unfair is to live in the poverty, and higher status, all of them in the same town. The story exaggerates a bit, but at the same time makes you think about how the place where we were born can manage our lives.
