May Miles Thomas' powerful, low-budget film received a host of awards but was never given a proper run in the cinema.
Shot on DV in black and white, it achieves a moody, noirish look. By taking a stylised approach in their treatment of gritty issues, the filmmakers avoid social realist cliches.
They're helped by Maureen Carr's brave performance as the single mum with a dead end job trying to help her son but unintentionally pushing him into a career as a male escort.
Released by the producers, this is a handsomely presented package with deleted scenes and a documentary revealing what it takes to set up a micro-budget project like this.
