"The funniest of Ken Loach's films about working-class lifeiin modern Britain" - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Acclaimed director Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes the Barley) presents the story of a man devoted to his family and his religion. Proud, though poor, Bob wants his little girl to have a beautiful (and costly) brand-new dress for her First Communion. His stubbornness and determination get him into serious trouble as he turns to more and more questionable measures to raise the needed money. His desperation leads him to risk all that he loves and values, including his immortal soul and salvation.
