A scene from A Soft Touch

A very funny and interesting Scottish film which tells three loosely connected stories.

In story number one Boab is having a bad day. He gets kicked out of his football team, his parents ask him to move out, he loses his job and his girlfriend dumps him for another bloke. Suffering from his bad day Boab sits in a pub drowning his sorrows and runs into god complete with Scottish accent and colourful swearing. God decides he’s had enough of him just letting everything go bad for him without trying to stop it and turns Boab into a fly. Boab uses his new fly-guise to wreck havoc and revenge.

In story number two we meet A soft touch and follow his marriage falling apart due to his  unfaithful wife. In the end he of course just gets back with her, despite her having him beaten up and variously humiliated.

Story Number three is by far the weirdest: in a bolt of lightning a LSD addled young man swaps places with a new born baby and wakes up in the mothers arms. After keeping his peace for some time he finally speaks up (the baby is a very cute puppet) and tells his new mother he’d like to go to the pub instead of going to the park!
