A character-driven drama about a rebellious teenage girl challenging post-war English social conventions, balancing comedy and pathos with a nostalgic 1950s seaside setting.

In a staid English seaside town after the Second World War, young Lynda grows up with her widowed father and younger sister. Rebellious Lynda has been swearing constantly from an early age. At sixteen, she becomes more exhibitionist and seeks out sexual encounters challenging the prevailing lower-middle class attitudes to sex.
