Ruby and Rata (1990)
07/14/1990 (NZ) • 1h 51m
An old lady, a would-be rock singer, and a delinquent child... with more in common than they realise.
Overview
Ruby, an 83 year old trying to dodge a retirement home, rents a room to Rata, a solo mum with sidelines in music and benefit fraud. Rata's son is into arson and shoplifting, while Ruby's nephew is a hapless yuppie wannabe. Marginalised by the deregulated economy of the '80s and living on their wits, they may just find common cause despite themselves.
