Story

The last night of a friendship and an explosion of new youth culture: a British music drama with a touch of Trainspotting has the screen booming. 1994 in a grey Scottish provincial town. Johnno and Spanner are hooked on beats. Every new techno track is celebrated by the two friends and recorded off the radio. Their lives are at the crossroads: while Johnno, whose stepfather’s a policeman, is moving to a new town with his family, Spanner, who lives with his criminal brother, faces an uncertain future. An illegal rave offers one last night of anarchy and freedom.
