Summaries

Unemployed Glasgow teenagers Ronnie and friends hatch a plan to get rich by acquiring and reselling a large quantity of stainless steel sinks, setting off a series of events that change their lives.

Ronnie, Wal, Andy and Vic are four bored, unemployed teens in dreary, rainy Glasgow. Ronnie comes up with a great idea. He has noticed that stainless steel sinks are worth a lot of money and comes up with a complicated scheme: to steal sinks from a warehouse dressed as girls and using a stop-motion potion.—Mattias Thuresson
