It’s 1983. Daniel is about to have his Confirmation, and is dreaming of a blue velvet jacket and grey flannel trousers – but then he overhears his parents talking, and it dawns on him that he won’t be getting them. The Hormanns are broke, and have no idea how to make ends meet for their family of six. As imaginative as the parents are, money management isnʼt their strong point. What they are great at, though, is keeping up appearances, even when the bailiff is outside the door.
