Summary

An alcoholic, emaciated father; a grossly obese, tattooed mother; a goofy, hormone-addled brother-all together in a claustrophobic council flat. Welcome to the Billinghams'. Richard Billingham wowed the art scene with his book Ray's A Laugh. Fishtank, his first film, charts the emotional territory of the flat and the family who play out their lives within its confines.
