Plot
Mike has left school at 15 to earn his keep. He finds a job in a public bath in East London. He is trained by Susan, in her mid-twenties. Susan can be fun-loving and affectionate yet often coldly serious or cruel. Mike's first female client asks him to help her undress and pushes his head into her bosom, talking amorously about George Best. Mike feels violated, and at first does not want to accept the tip Susan brings him. Susan tells him the flirtatious role-play is a normal practice at the baths for larger tips and encourages him to serve some of her female clients.
