Sweet Sixteen - Ken Loach
Der 15-jährige Liam lebt mit seiner Schwester in einer schottischen Arbeitersiedlung. Mutter Jean sitzt gerade wegen Drogenmissbrauchs im Gefängnis. Als Liam sich weigert, Heroin in den Knast zu schmuggeln, wird er vom Freund der Mutter zusammengeschlagen. Doch der Junge lässt sich nicht einschüchtern und beginnt, um ein besseres Leben für sich und Jean, die bald entlassen wird, zu kämpfen. Das Geld dazu verschafft er sich ausgerechnet mit dem Handel von Drogen. Doch da kommt Liam dem örtlichen Gangsterboss in die Quere.
Noch mal auf englisch:
Ken Loach, the award winning director of 'Kes', 'Land and Freedom' and 'My Name Is Joe', returns with an astonishingly powerful film that won the praise of every critic in the country.
Set in the estates of Greenock in Scotland, Liam (an astounding performance by new-comer Martin Compston) dreams of the family life he never had. With his mum to be released from prison in time for his 16th birthday, Liam is determined that things will be different. And that means creating a safe haven beyond the reach of wasters like his mum's boyfriend Stan and his own mean-spirited grandfather.
But first he's got to raise cash - no mean feat for a skint teenager. It's not long before Liam and his pals' crazy schemes lead them into all sorts of trouble. Finding himself dangerously out of his depth, Liam knows he should walk away. Only this time, he just can't let go.
