Through the eyes of an irredeemable heroin addict (Ewan McGregor), you will meet his Scottish companions and their lives filled with hallucinations and criminal acts. Will a bag of money in central London bring them back to their senses?

A hyper-cult, ultra-decadent, manic-nihilistic, seropositive, heroin-drenched ride of a punctured generation that no longer needs questions. They have their ticket and they will catch the train. Lesson: you can escape heroin, but never the life you’ve built around it. One of the defining films of the 1990s, which propelled director Danny Boyle and actor Ewan McGregor into the top league of world cinema, based on the iconic novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh. The Scottish writer, born in 1958, rose to fame precisely with Trainspotting (1993).
