An affectionate comedy drama about small town New Zealand life, starring Cliff Curtis in his first lead role in a feature film.

Cliff Curtis stars as Billy Williams, who may be hopeless, but he's no loser. He's always helping out where he can, and he's a great Dad to Lucille and Walter. Unfortunately he never finishes a job and is the world's worst procrastinator - much to his wife Pauline's dismay. She's the one who has to live with the doors that jam and fences that fall down. Billy's opportunity to redeem himself comes when Agnes Morrison, the driving force behind the Waimatua School 75th Jubilee, is killed in a tragic bovine semen extraction accident. Billy gets lumbered with the task and he's determined to prove his worth as the new Jubilee Chairman - come what may.
