A moving yet straightforward dramatisation of Barry Hines's popular novel, Kes, the story of how fifteen-year-old Billy Casper trains a kestrel.
It is not the training of the young hawk that is important but the admiration and affection it inspires in Billy, feelings which neither his school nor his family offer.
