THIS IS ENGLAND
It's 1983 and school is out for the summer.
This Is England, is the story of those long
weeks between terms where life changing events can take place.
12-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) is an isolated lad growing up
in a grim coastal town, whose father has died fighting in the Falklands
war.
Over the course of the summer holiday he finds fresh male role
models when those in the local skinhead scene take him in.. With
his new friends Shaun discovers a world of parties, first love
and the joys of Dr Marten boots.. It's at one of these parties
that he meets Combo (Stephen Graham), an older, racist skinhead
who has recently got out of prison.
As Combo’s gang harass the local ethnic minorities, the course
is set for a rite of passage that will hurl Shaun from innocence
to experience.
