Happy-Go-Lucky

Poppy is a happy-go-lucky primary school teacher determined to ignore the grim realities of life.  Positive to a fault, she bounces weekly on trampolines, learns the flamengo and takes driving lessons.

A few don’t take kindly to her approach, particularly her driving teacher Scott. Its a battle of wills every week between the polar opposites with a rather explosive shouting match to end the tension.

Sometimes Poppy is fun but most of the time she acts like a 10-year-old stuck in an adult’s body. There are small breaks of violence in the otherwise floaty storyline, its almost like real life intruding on a daydream.

Festival film fans will like it, its quirky and different (check out her wardrobe).
