that sinking feeling (1979)

"You sure you've not got any cornflakes?"
A gang of unemployed teenagers come together under the direction of Ronnie (Robert Buchanan), who has a plan to make them all rich! They are going to rob a local warehouse of all its stainless steel sinks, but to do so will take, nerve, split second timing and some lipstick!
Forsyth brings together the kids of the Glasgow Youth Theatre, to produce an absurd, and wonderfully witty crime caper. Episodic at times, the film never looses sight of the need to make you laugh.

that sinking feeling (1980)

"There must be more to life than suicide."
As a group of unemployed teens try to make the days pass, one of their number, Ronnie (Robert Buchanan), comes up with an idea to make some money, by stealing sinks from a local factory. But this necessitates him planning the job meticulously and recruiting friends and acquaintances to carry out the job.
A film that transcends its low budget, and use of amateur actors, to provide a heart warming and sometimes surreal comedy. A number of the cast went on to appear in Forsyth's next comedy, Gregory's Girl, and established acting careers.
