This movie is actually about a particular aspect of England which is called as the skinhead subculture. This particular subculture helped Sean Meadows to draw his vision about England in 1983. The beginning of the movie, takes us to Thatcher's period during the war in Falklands. The main actor Shaun lost his father during this war. He suffers a lot from this death and he is rejected by his companions at school. He meets a group of skinheads who adopt him and he then goes to become the mascot of this band of teenagers.
