This is such a fun movie. I love Brenda Blethyn!
Boris Plots, director of Plots Funeral Homes in the fictional Welsh
village of Wrottin Powys, dreamed of only two things as a young boy:
dancing and Betty. Betty secretly loved Boris, but could not fight her
father's wishes, so she was married off to a gold digger. Boris gave up
his dreams and took over the family's undertaking business. Everything
has remained status quo in their lives until Betty's mother-in-law dies.
Boris and Betty are thrust together again and as they discuss the
funeral arrangements for Betty's mother-in-law, the old spark is
rekindled.
Her funeral will be held at Plots Funeral Homes, much to the chagrin
of rival funeral director, Frank Featherbed. Featherbed, an American, is
determined to revolutionize the undertaking business in Britain through
the innovation of "theme" funerals. Boris discovers that the only
obstacle between their love for one another, is her marriage to the
two-timing Mayor. In a desperate bid for happiness Boris and Betty
decide to stage her death and run away together.
