Synopsis:

An epic of suburban life and a debut of staggering scope, intimacy and warmth, It's All Right Now is the story of Tom Ripple, an ordinary man living an ordinary life. From a north London suburb in the 1970s, we pursue and engage with Ripple through to the present day, seeing through his own eyes a series of rich and complex relationships - with his wife and children, neighbours, girlfriends, colleagues and friends; and his continuous search for certainties and specifics - both moral and pragmatic. Through his growing sense of the sorrow and absurdity of the world, Ripple becomes an anti-hero, all too aware of his own ordinariness, with a ribald sense of humour and an inevitable clumsiness in his attempts at emotional connection with others.
