Bradford teenagers Rita and Sue regularly babysit for successful couple Bob and Michelle, whose comfortable suburban lifestyle contrasts with their own bleak existence. One evening when Bob is taking them home, he suggests a detour to the moors. Impressed by his flashy car and worldly ways the girls are smooth-talked into a three-way sexual relationship that becomes very much part of their lives. At first it's a bit of a laugh but people are quick to point the finger and the affair is soon out in the open. (British Film Institute (BFI))

A picture of British society in the 1980s? To a certain extent, definitely. An example of how we're bored with our lives and we want to change something, but we're not strong enough to actually make that change. Or, on the contrary, we wander and have no clear goal because we don't really know what to do with our lives. No, this is not just a picture of British society in the 1980s, it can be applied to the present day.
