Set in  Glasgow of the early 1950s, the film focuses on the existential crisis of Joe, a rootless young drifter who finds work on a barge owned by the down-to-earth Les and his enigmatic wife Ella. One afternoon Joe and Les happen upon a corpse of a young woman floating in the water. Accident? Suicide? Murder? As the police investigate the case and a suspect is arrested, it becomes evident that Joe knows more about the drowned woman than he lets on. The chemistry between the actors and the heart-stoppingly forward approach towards delicate moral issues make Young Adam the gripping and compelling film that it is.
