Synopsis Information

Synopsis

This film is a glimpse at the somewhat hidden and defiantly hardy Scottish naturist scene. Filming involved over forty naturists from various clubs, but focuses mainly on four very different characters who tell their personal experiences. There’s Donald, the hardy loch skinny-dipper; Paul, the cheeky chappie who is always up for a laugh; Maitland, the single naturist hoping to find love; and Jinty, the rough diamond who tells it to you straight. The aim is to show these naturists in a straightforward light. They are just normal folk who enjoy going to barbeques, playing volleyball and hosting dinner parties, the only difference is that they prefer to do their socialising in the nude. This is an entertaining documentary which at long last allows naturists an unprejudiced forum to talk freely about their passion. It also shows the fun you can have whilst wearing the one button suit.

Why you should watch it

What could possibly induce a Scot to brave the cold and strip off outdoors? The answer in this documentary seems to be the same things that make anyone become a naturist. We meet a group of characters who enjoy their bodies and aren’t afraid to go around without clothes, and can’t understand why anyone could mind. Refreshing, fun and kind-hearted.
