Über diesen Titel
Flying off the roof with a bucket on your head sounds like fiction. In Ewan's case, it was triumphant fact.
This is a fine, glad, happy, true story set amid a small mining town in South Wales during the 1950s and '60s, as best-butties, Rhys and Ewan, turn their imaginations to finding endless new ways to escape the tedium of their childhood. Their future fame and fortune up for grabs, they take on everything from flying to horse racing, "carjacking", to "chemical experimentation". Even attempting to form The Valley’s answer to the Animals, Beatles, and Rolling Stones. They are oblivious to the dark clouds gathering like "the folds of Dracula’s cloak" over their parents, guardians, friends, and families. While the boys take you on their adventures - living their dreams - the dreams of those around them are slowly disappearing, irrevocably, in the name of "progress": foretelling the rapid social and economic decline that was to beset the Valley way of life.
But this is no sad tale. But a fine glad happy story of good, kind, decent people, real Valley characters, of light, love, hope, and an "orse called Silver".
