Uddrag
The film takes place in 1983, in England. The characters live in a place or a town, close to the coast, which we can see in the beginning of the movie, where Shaun travels around on his bike after being bullied in school. Shaun and his mom is like most of the characters, a part of the lower social class.

They live in a terraced house, in a standard english residential area. Despite that, they live in an en- vironment, which is more wealthy, and more towards the middle class, than the majority of the films characters.

Characters like combo and banjo, who lives in a socially exposed housing estate, is more a part of the so called “slum”, than the actual lower class, which is where the other skinheads live.

We also meet people from both the middle and the upper social classes, primarily at the meet- ing of the national front, as well as Smell, whos father works at an oil platform.

Therefore, to sum up, we meet many different characters in lots of different social classes. The so- cial environment distinguish from one person to another, but the film primarily focus on the lower classes of the English society in the year 1983.
