A montage of archive images and contemporary footage show the effects of time on Liverpool, the director's native city. Alongside a rich soundtrack of music, snippets of radio, poetry and jokes Davies's own voice-over is in turn, poetic, ironic, melancholy, angry and witty. With audacious, original and exhilarating juxtapositions of music and image, this is a film, above all, about memory and time's passing, ageing and loss; it's about how Britain has changed over the last century.

"a film of love, passion and indignation, full of startling beauties." Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
