Plot
In the early 1960's, sixteen year old Jenny Mellor lives with her parents in the London suburb of Twickenham. On her father's wishes, everything that Jenny does is in the sole pursuit of being accepted into Oxford, as he wants her to have a better life than he. Jenny is bright, pretty, hard working but also naturally gifted. The only problems her father may perceive in her life is her issue with learning Latin, and her dating a boy named Graham, who is nice but socially awkward. Jenny's life changes after she meets David Goldman, a man over twice her age. David goes out of his way to show Jenny and her family that his interest in her is not improper and that he wants solely to expose her to cultural activities which she enjoys. Jenny quickly gets accustomed to the life to which David and his constant companions, Danny and Helen, have shown her, and Jenny and David's relationship does move into becoming a romantic one. However, Jenny slowly learns more about David, and by association Danny and Helen, and specifically how they make their money. Jenny has to decide if what she learns about them and leading such a life is worth forgoing her plans of higher eduction at Oxford.

Innocence of the Young.
[from trailer]::Miss Stubbs: You seem to be old and wise.::Jenny: I feel old. But not very wise.
[last lines]::Jenny: One of the boys I dated, and they were boys, suggested that we go to Paris and I said I'd always wanted to see Paris. As if I'd never been!
David: Do you go to concerts?::Jenny: No. We don't believe in concerts.::David: Oh, I assure you, they're real.
Jenny: If people die the moment that they graduate, then surely it's the things we do beforehand that count.
Jenny: I don't want to lose my virginity to a piece of fruit.
Headmistress: [On Jenny's career opportunities] It doesn't have to be teaching. There's always the Civil Service.
Jenny: If you never do anything, you never become anyone.
Jack: Knowing a famous author is better than becoming one. It shows you're connected.
Jenny: [ Jenny's thoughts on sex ] It's funny though, isn't it? All that poetry and all those songs, about something that lasts no time at all.
Headmistress: Nobody does anything worth doing without a degree.::Jenny: Nobody does anything worth doing WITH a degree. No woman anyway.::Headmistress: So what I do isn't worth doing? Or what Miss Stubbs does, or Mrs. Wilson, or any of us here? Because none of us would be here without a degree. You do realize that, don't you? And yes, of course studying is hard and boring...::Jenny: Boring!::Headmistress: I'm sorry?::Jenny: Studying is hard and boring. Teaching is hard and boring. So, what you're telling me is to be bored, and then bored, and finally bored again, but this time for the rest of my life? This whole stupid country is bored! There's no life in it, or color, or fun! It's probably just as well the Russians are going to drop a nuclear bomb on us any day now. So my choice is to do something hard and boring, or to marry my... Jew, and go to Paris and Rome and listen to jazz, and read, and eat good food in nice restaurants, and have fun! It's not enough to educate us anymore Ms. Walters. You've got to tell us why you're doing it.

the rain had made it shine
offered her a song

i showed her all my things
she offered me belongings
she thought i was a ragman
she offered me possessions
i tied them in a knot
wrapped it in a note
kept it in my pocket
i showed her all my things
she offered me belongings
she thought i was a ragman
i came to her too soon
she should have had a ragdoll
and wound up with a ragman
wing and kites and wedding rings
all these charms i said i'd bring
i showed her all my things
she offered me belongings
she thought i was a ragman

Floatin' on air never a care cruisin' down town,
Knows where to go keepin' it low down to the ground.
A bottle of wine doctor good time he's got it all right,
Stops for a while gives you that smile you're flying tonight.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey, wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
Say the reggae man good for you.
Nothing to say gets through the day sleepin' 'til late,
Roll on the night hides from the light that's makin' him wait.
Takin' his speed home growin' weed,
Cortina E over the hill dressing to kill and easy to see.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey, wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Now wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
You know the reggae man good for you.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Now wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
Yeah said the reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
Conditioned to live life in constant SERVITUDE, never questioning another way OF LIVING LIFE 'cause what I gave you I didn't get back in return for my time spent building their dreams 'til I was left with nothing.
Spending each waking moment waiting for my days to end.
A slave to the man will somone just save me from this regimen.
Forcing myself to do something in absolute compromise.
I'm stuck in a rut will someone just save mefrom this torture, from the life that I truly seek, I have to take a chance and live in risk 'cause these chances are just passing by.
Pieces of my soul being to face.
Will someone just TAKE ME AWAY from this modern slavery. Just so high someone can climb, yet still they fall behind. And when it's gone they treat it like it's the end of the world.
THE END OF YOUR WORLD.
I can't let life pass me by.
