I watched this movie expecting to be told about social problems, that is Ken Loach's typical film-making. On the contrary, this time the director manages to touch the audience on an emotional level, dealing with clashes between people coming from different countries. These conflicts are described as inevitable when parents are rooted to their native cultures and sons are influenced by western traditions and livings. The spectator is offered a slice of life that is absolutely simple and realistic. Finally, a remarkable peculiarity of this film is its having explicit sex scenes (maybe in Carla's song starring Robert Carlyle there was something like that).
