Overview

While living rough on the streets of London’s East End, a young man, Dink (Berwick Kaler) encounters the beautiful Dee (Julie Shaw). Seemingly concerned for Dinks welfare, she invites him to stay with her and the pair soon develop a relationship which oscillates between sexual intimacy and raging jealousy. As tenderness gives way to cruelty, their relationship becomes consumed by darkness. An astonishing film by the director of The Body Beneath.

This title is also available on DVD/Blu-ray in the BFI Flipside collection.
