(2002)Directed by Shane Meadows104 min · RRomance, Comedy, Drama

Dek (Rhys Ifans) proposes to his girlfriend Shirley (Shirley Henderson) on live television, a big public gesture meant to settle things with her and her 12-year-old daughter Marlene.

Dek wants to be the man Shirley chose, and Jimmy wants back into a life he walked out of.
