Watch Ruby and Rata For Free
Ruby and Rata
Ruby (Yvonne Lawley), 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 (Simon Barnett) 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 in this Graeme Tetley-penned tale.

Just what I expected
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
