A great movie. Not just another series of vignettes about sixties people
in the eighties.

The movie deals with a group of sixties people, all love and light and
flowers, having to deal with the cold, harsh reality of maturing in the
eighties.....thus the title.

But it goes further......was it OK to have been the way they were, to
smoke grass, be kind, tender, open, loving and together? And screw
around with friends mates?

Is it OK now? Is it OK to smoke grass when you're supposed to be
grieving over your friend's suicide? Is it OK to be close? OK to screw
around with friends mates?

The movie deals VERY well with what might be called the transition
people, those who thoguht dope and sex and imtimacy and love were all
right things, and are trying to keep those things in their lives, in
spite of the coldness outside.
