Meena (Chandeep Uppal) is twelve years old and lives in the small rural village of Tollington in 1972. She is the daughter of Indian parents who have come to England to give her a better life. Her idyllic adolescence, surrounded by eccentric relatives and friends, is disputed by the arrival in Tollington of Anita Rutter (Anna Brewster) and her dysfunctional family. At 14 - blonde, aloof, beautiful, outrageous and sassy - Anita is everything Meena thinks she wants to be. Meena wheedles her way into Anita's life, but the arrival of a baby brother, teenage hormones, impending entrance exams for the posh grammar school and a motorcycling rebel without a future, threaten to turn her salad days sour. A comic, poignant, compassionate and colorful portrait of village life in the era of flares and glam rock.
