Going Places
Sophie is a teenager with big dreams of owning a boutique or becoming an actress or
fashion designer. Her friend Jansie tries to bring her back to reality, as they come from a
poor background and may have to work in a biscuit factory. Sophie lives in a small house
with her parents and brothers, Geoff and Derek. Her parents don't believe in her dreams
because they are more mature and know the harsh realities of life. Sophie is fascinated
by her older brother Geoff and envies his silence. She fantasizes about meeting Danny
Casey, an Irish football player, and tells Geoff a made-up story about meeting him in the
streets. Geoff initially doesn't believe her, but starts to hope it's true when she describes
the meeting in detail. Sophie waits for Danny to show up, but he never does. She goes
home, worried about disappointing Geoff, but still believes that Danny will eventually
come to meet her.
