Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here

1987

Set in a 1950s English seaside town, a teenage girl with a sharp mind and a fierce will navigates sexual experience, family tension and the stifling expectations of postwar provincial life with unsettling self-possession. David Leland's British coming-of-age drama is frank, funny and occasionally disturbing.
