On the outskirts of Birmingham, the Billingham family members perform extreme rituals and break social taboos as they muddle through a life decided by factors beyond their control. At times shocking and laced with an unsettling humor, three episodes unfold as a powerful evocation of experience of growing up in a Black Country council flat. This unique film by Richard Billingham has become a festival hit since its premiere in Locarno, while garnering a unanimous critical acclaim: "Ray & Liz is formally arresting and rigorous, though not at the expense of its direct emotional force" (Variety).
