A secretary named Sylvia longs for romance to break up the drabness of a life devoted to caring for her mentally challenged sister, Hilda. Peter, a teacher, somewhat fills that need, but Norman, a musician who rents out her garage, complicates matters.

"Moments from the uncompromisingly bleak existence of a secretary, her intellectually disabled sister, an aloof and uneasy teacher who is a prospective boyfriend, a bizarre neighbour and irritating workmate. Mike Leigh's debut as a director is a very depressing movie about the lives of a number of residents in South London. A relentless vision of personal entrapment loaded with plenty of klutzy encounters, misunderstandings, and people who desperately crave company, who also are driven to misery"
