Movie

Ruby and Rata

An old lady, a would-be rock singer, and a delinquent child... with more in common than they realise.

1990 1hr : 51m Drama · Comedy ★ 7.5

Ruby, an 83 year old trying to dodge a retirement home, rents a room to Rata, a solo mum with sidelines in music and benefit fraud. Rata's son is into arson and shoplifting, while Ruby's nephew is a hapless yuppie wannabe. Marginalised by the deregulated economy of the '80s and living on their wits, they may just find common cause despite themselves.
