Bob Williams (Bruce Jones) is a survivor. He supplements his dole by becoming embroiled in whatever scam is on offer, from rustling sheep to rodding drains. But now life has dealt him a bitter blow. His van has been stolen and his daughter, Coleen, is approaching her first communion. She needs the traditional white dress, shoes, veil and gloves. Where on earth is the money going to come from? Ken Loach's Raining Stones is a funny and essentially human story of survival in the nineties and people's aspirations for a better way of life.
