we need more love and support for veterans. Great movie

Its a real emotional movie about Dave, a Falkland War vet with PTSD. It's set in Portsmouth and shows how hard life is on the streets. Dave lost everything cause of PTSD. The New Year's fireworks scenes are super intense and scary. But his dog Sally is so sweet and keeps him going.

Then Sally gets hurt and Dave finds out she has a tumor. It's super sad and you feel bad for Dave. He meets Malcky, who runs a burger van and is also a vet. They become friends and work together to save Sally. Malcky is really kind and their friendship is heartwarming.

The movie shows how the system fails vets like Dave. His struggles with PTSD and no support are tough to watch. But there are good people like Malcky. The acting is great and really shows their pain and hope. Its a moving film about friendship and hope. It's a must-watch for anyone who likes emotional stories with a good message about kindness and supporting vets.
