Keď mladej černoške Hortense zomrie adoptívna matka, rozhodne sa nájsť tú pravú. V adopčnej agentúre ju čaká prekvapenie - v kolónke farby pleti je jasne napísané, že je biela. Zmätené dievča sa rozhodne nájsť svoju matku. Cynthia Purleyová žije v radovom dome v robotníckej štvrti so svojou druhou nemanželskou dcérou Roxanne. Je šokovaná, keď sa stretne so svojím prvým dieťaťom, ktoré od pôrodu nikdy nevidela. Medzi matkou, ktorá trávi dni osamote, a jej novou dcérou sa však rozvinie krásny, dôverný vzťah. Cynthia nakoniec predstaví Hortensiu svojej rodine. Toto stretnutie prináša očistu od všetkých tajomstiev a lží, ktorými takmer každá postava prehlušila svoju bolesť alebo psychickú traumu. Film hovorí o nedostatkoch v medziľudskej komunikácii, o nedorozumeniach, ktoré často zbytočne spôsobujú problémy vo vzťahoch, dokonca aj medzi našimi najbližšími. Mike Leigh pomaly odhaľuje charakter jednotlivých postáv a naznačuje dôvody ich správania.

Žijú vedľa seba, ale nie spolu. Ale je to vôbec život? Žijú spolu na londýnskom sídlisku v škaredom obecnom byte, ktorý už dávno stratil to, čo robí domov domovom a miestom, kam sa všetci radi vracajú: atmosféru vzájomného porozumenia a lásky. Dnes je to pre všetkých len ubytovňa, kde sa bezcieľne míňajú. Taxikár Phil trávi v aute oveľa menej času, ako by mal a mohol, a svoju laxnosť a permanentnú finančnú núdzu ospravedlňuje filozofickými úvahami.

Zádumčivá, tučná Rachel, ktorá pracuje ako upratovačka v domove dôchodcov a zjavne žije vo svojom vlastnom svete. A obézny, neohrabaný Rory, ktorý sa celý deň rozťahuje na gauči pred televízorom a na každého a na všetkých sa naváža. Žiadne peniaze, žiadna láska, žiadne vyhliadky, žiadna nádej. A zdá sa, že tento stav prijali. Pretože tak žijú všetci: ich susedia, ich priatelia...
