Happy-Go-Lucky

Poppy (Sally Hawkins, well regarded for her small roles in Vera Drake and All or Nothing) is a flamboyant, free-spirited elementary school teacher. As she rides her bicycle through the streets of central London, she gaily smiles and waves at acquaintances and strangers alike. After leaving a local bookshop and returning to where she had chained her bike, she discovers that it has been stolen. This sad turn of events does not upset the agreeable Poppy, however, who at first simply thinks, I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Rather than replace the stolen bicycle, Poppy decides to take driving lessons from the Axle good driving is no accident School of Motoring. There she meets Scott, her hypersensitive driving instructor. As she continues to see Scott for lessons, he becomes increasingly irritated yet equally infatuated by her bubbly, laissez-faire attitude, at one point angrily accusing her of being a flirt. Meanwhile, Poppy also meets Tim, a social worker from the school system who, by contrast, fully appreciates her effervescent attitude [source: TIFF] For more information, visit http://www.vimooz.com
