Directed by Paul McGuigan, this three-story film is based on three of Irvine Welsh's short stories. In The Granton Star Cause Boab, one of life's losers, meets God in a pub. But this God is a vengeful god... In A Soft Touch, Johnny finds himself wedded to a very pregnant Catriona even though half the town's male population could be the father. After she gives birth, she goes back to her old ways but is it a case of once a soft touch, always a soft touch? In The Acid House, Hibs casual Coco Bryce drops a bad tab and his spirit ends up in a newborn baby who's suddenly swearing and boozing while Coco becomes the child, drooling and incoherent.
