Official synopsis

Ray is an agressive fan of the punk rock band The Clash. He’s an idle young man from Brixton, wandering in concerts, pubs and the miserable sex-shop where he works as a salesman. One day, he’s hired as a roadie on the tour of his favorite band. Between documentary and fiction, an exquisite archive piece, in the intimacy of the Clash: the backstage, the recording sessions, the rehearsals but above all their tour in 1978, during the anti-Thatcher riots.
