Love is strange

On Clifford's wedding day, he is struck by a storm of memories of his childhood in the fifties. Doted upon by his mother, tyrannized by his father and misled by his sister, his domestic idyll is shattered by events that propel the ordinary family onto a path of turbulent change in step with sixties London. From family home to convent school to criminal underworld, the last frontier of forbidden love is bared in all its strangeness.
