Description: The limits of growing up in a dead-end town, teenage boredom and long hot summers with nothing to do. These are the problems facing Laura, Minty and Nicola - three girls from a Scottish seaside town who add a splash of colour to the local landscape. While wasting time at a bus stop on a road to nowhere, a confrontation with four football lads develops from a battle of wits into a race for survival. A fast forward adrenaline rush of youth in a slo-mo landscape. A teenage spaghetti western cracked on cheap wine and hand-me down sportswear. [synopsis from Scottish Screen Catalogue of Short Films 1993 - 1999 "Kicking up a Storm"]
