Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical account of growing up in Belfast in 1969, at the start of the Troubles. Buddy is just a normal child in a working-class neighbourhood who finds division seeping into his world. For his parents, the critical question is should they stay or should they go?
Shot in shimmering black and white, it captures the climate of the time through the eyes of an innocent.
