Even popstars need to shop... New Romantic punks Adam & The Ants make an eventful late-night trip to their local 24-hour supermarket in this charmingly off-kilter tale of tinned vegetables, consumer culture and the fickle nature of fame. Cruising the aisles like some kind of bizarre family-unit, the flamboyantly dressed band-members are thrown into crisis when one of their 2 drummers suddenly goes missing...
