Raining Stones

How far would you go for the ones you love? Raining Stones follows the travails of proud but poor Bob (Bruce Jones, Coronation Street, The Full Monty) in his quest to buy his daughter a beautiful, extravagant dress for her First Communion. With the help of his buddy Jimmy (Ricky Tomlinson, The Royle Family, Cracker), and despite the warnings of his wife, Anne (Julie Brown, V for Vendetta, Band of Gold), Bob has to come up with increasingly elaborate schemes to realize his dream. But times are tough, and so are his opportunities. Will he still risk losing everything? A socially conscious film from Cannes? Palme D?Orwinning director Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes the Barley), Raining Stones is an unforgettable portrait of post-Thatcher Britain.
