She curses, she cannot hold on to a job
and she decides to keep the baby she’s
expecting, without a father: this is Lydia,
a sixteen-year-old rebel who cannot stand
the so-called respectability and hypocrisy
of the British province of the 1950s.
A beautiful comedy written and directed
by David Leland, which resembles the Free
Cinema of the 1960s with its style,
youthful fury and non-conformism
