"Up the Junction" tells the story of a short-lived romance between two working class Britons.
A young English bloke meets a girl, they hook up, and move in together. In short order, he gets a job, she gets pregnant, and they're happy together, even though they struggle financially. Eventually, they have a little girl, and are ecstatic.
But, alas, the relationship falls apart, because like many working class blokes, he starts squandering money on beer and gambling. Eventually, his girl leaves him and takes their daughter with her.
He hopes desperately that she'll return, but she's found a new boyfriend (a soldier), and wants nothing to do with him. He's left all alone, because he couldn't control his demons.
