In1969 two unemployed actors escape Camden to a relative's country retreat in Cumbria, where they are equally ill-suited.
Semi-autobiographical black comedy memoir, of two misfits in whatever given scenario, quite a cult for those familiar with the social environment and the period - only some of which manages to come across, as well the spectacular northern countryside, relying mainly on the interplay and eccentricity of its main characters.
