Summer, 1948. 14-year-old Alan has just three wishes: that there will be lasting peace, that England will win the Ashes, and that he will finally kiss classmate Ann. So when he's cast opposite her in a play that requires a kiss and England seem to be doing well in cricket, life couldn't be better.

What a title, no wonder I never heard of this film before anyone who seen it probably forgot how to pronounce it.

This movie sat in my dad’s DVD collection for years, so we finally decided to watch it. Turns out we brought it over from the UK when we moved so it was region locked, so we watched it on YouTube.
It’s a nice movie
