Plot
In London's East End, a working-class family grapples with the harsh realities of recession under Margaret Thatcher's government. Mavis is the sole breadwinner, while her husband Frank and their two sons, Colin—who is timid and shy—and Mark, a confident and rebellious spirit, rely on welfare. Their struggles highlight the disparity with Mavis's sister, Barbara, and her husband John, who project an image of affluence that conceals the underlying discontent of their stagnant marriage. The contrasts between these households reveal the complexities of family dynamics amid economic hardship.
