Chris wants to show Tina his world and he wants to do it his way: on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina has led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see: the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that accompanies these wonders in his life. But it doesn’t take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina’s meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris’s dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.

“The biggest difference compared to Ben Wheatley’s two previous films is the focus on comedy, in particular the dark kind. It’s a slightly different genre for Wheatley to explore, but he does so admirably, creating a film that is equal parts absurd as it is berserk.” (Raffi Asdourian)
