story briefing (excerpt from the 37th Hong Kong International Film Festival) :

Robbie, the little bastard who just became a dad, wanted to reform and rehabilitate. He planned to start over after serving the community labor order, but his grievances cannot allow him to retreat. He accidentally bumped into a winery tour and accidentally discovered his own wine tasting tips. In order to start a new life, the impossible task of a copycat oolong version began.

Robbie, a young father who barely escapes a prison sentence, is assigned to community service. There, he meets up with fellow hooligans in similar circumstances due to their criminal records and lack of prospects. Little do they know that drinking would be the solution to their problems ... not the cheap grog type, but the finest of malt whisky.

Robbie, who has done nothing, has just become a father. For the future of his wife and children, how can he start a new page in his life?

Ken Loach's "The Angels' Share" (The Angels' Share) tells the story of Robbie. The movie led the audience to witness how Robbie walked out of the quagmire of life. The tone was humorous and there were no lack of delicate and moving scenes. It was very pleasant to watch Li. I like the gift Robbie prepared for the benefactor the most. The short scene is warm and touching, enough to sweep away all the haze in the world!

(Press: The Angels' Share refers to the amount of whiskey lost in the barrel each year, about 2%. Robbie can start again, which has a lot to do with whiskey and winery.)

The Angels' Share quotes

  • Robbie: Why are you doing this for us?

    Grace: Someone gave me a chance once and it changed my life. And it sure sounds like you two could do with some luck.

  • Robbie: What the fuck is a "Firth"? Dornoch Firth? We'll probably need huskies, maybe even a boat, depending where it is.
