Un irrequieto ventenne nell'Inghilterra degli anni Sessanta.Londra, 1965. Jimmy Cooper, fattorino in un'agenzia pubblicitaria, segue i concerti dei suoi beniamini, partecipa alle furibonde risse tra Rockers e Mods, viene iniziato all'esperienza della droga e cerca nella musica il riscatto a una vita senza prospettive. Un musical rock che nei suoi momenti migliori (soprattutto la prima metà) vive della rabbia del cinema britannico degli anni Sessanta e del suo realismo senza concessioni. Il titolo è preso a prestito da un album degli Who datato 1973 e che fa da colonna sonora al film prodotto dal gruppo inglese. Promettente esordio sul grande schermo per Sting.

The sensational follow-up to "London in the Raw," "Primitive London" sets out to reflect society's decay through a sideshow spectacle of 1960s London depravity—and manages to outdo its predecessor. Here, we confront mods, rockers and beatniks at the Ace Café, cut some rug with obscure beat band The Zephyrs, smirk at flabby men in the sauna and goggle at sordid wife-swapping parties as we discover a pre-permissive Britain still trying to move on from the post-war depression of the 1950s.

Breza, a country boy from a godforsaken Prekmurje village, wishes to perform at the village festivities playing his electric guitar, but is faced with fierce competition in the form of a traditional Roma band entertaining the villagers by playing popular folk music. Nevertheless, his music seems to be the key to the heart of Silvija, a village beauty and the daughter of a wealthy gastarbeiter from Switzerland, who was sent home to find a healthy Slovene husband. However, the story of Breza and Silvija only marks the beginning of the plot whose main character is actually Düplin, an eccentric outsider, a deaf-and-dumb tramp or, as Breza's mother, the old Popovka, a farm owner and a fortune-teller also referred to as Strina, called him "a lad from a citrus producing country".
