“The story that peels bare the raging emotions of today's angry young generation!”
Drama
A disillusioned, angry university graduate comes to terms with his grudge against middle-class life and values.

A simmering, claustrophobic portrait of working-class frustration and intellectual ennui. The air is thick with unspoken resentments and the raw, unvarnished anger of a generation feeling trapped by circumstance and societal expectations.
