There's got to be more to life than committing suicide.

ComedyDramaCrime

Ronnie, Wal, Andy and Vic are four bored, unemployed teens in dreary, rainy Glasgow. Ronnie comes up with a great idea. He has noticed that stainless steel sinks are worth a lot of money and comes up with a complicated scheme: to steal sinks from a warehouse dressed as girls and using a stop-motion-potion.

VIBE

A darkly comic caper set against the grim backdrop of Thatcher-era Glasgow. It's a story of aimless youth finding a bizarre purpose, fueled by bleak humor and a DIY spirit. Expect a charmingly shambolic heist with more heart than polish.
