Simultaneous to being enthralled with a life that flashes before his eyes and ears in the local cinema and youth centre , Dino gets a taste of the world inhabited by local thugs and petty criminals. However, when he is rewarded via a... liaison for providing a hiding place for prostitute "Dolly Bell" , his world is turned upside down as he falls in love with her.
