Synopsis: |
This comedy-drama
celebrates the sights and sounds of Soho in the 1960's. Shirley Sutton has run
away from her home town in search of her mother. She finds herself in the heart
of swinging London, a world of Mods, street folk and glamourous gangsters. The
bright lights dazzle her but Shirley soon finds that Soho is a dangerous place
- especially when you're sixteen, alone and pregnant.
