Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), loathing his dead-end job and dead-end parents, is primed to go off the edge. The Lambretta scooter, bespoke suit and the other trappings of being Mod make for a subversive rebellion against his working-class surroundings. But even the amphetamine pills and fleeting moments with his mates don't ease the assault of growing pains that are deepening his alienation.
This only gets messier when he finally joins one of the headline seaside clashes of 1964 between the Mods and their mortal enemies, the motorcycle-cruising, leather-clad Rockers. However, a reality check of his idol, the smooth Ace Face (Sting) hastens Jimmy's identity crisis.
This human drama, adapted from and featuring The Who's seminal album "Quadrophenia", bursts with all the tragic frustration and irrepressible euphoria of youth on the verge of adulthood.
