In a world where youth faces disillusionment and a lack of opportunities, a rebellious young man emerges as an icon of the turbulent British subculture of the 1980s. With his leather jacket and defiant attitude, this boy, who lives in a care home and has been raised in a system that has marginalized him, embodies the frustrations and weariness of a lost generation. As he navigates the streets of London, he is drawn to a group of skinheads who challenge social norms and engage in violence as a form of expression.
However, his life is not just a journey of self-discovery; tensions with authority and his inability to find his place in society lead him to frequent confrontations with the police and his own inner demons. The young man faces various experiences ranging from camaraderie to betrayal, exploring family, loyalty, and isolation in a hostile environment. With a raw and direct direction, the film offers an unfiltered look at the youth culture of the time, reflecting social discontent and the search for identity in a chaotic world. Throughout his journey, he questions whether rebellion is truly the solution or just an escape route to an uncertain future. This visceral portrait serves as a reminder of the power and danger of discontented youth.
