"The film shows how a whole British way of life is under threat. But the picturesque village of Lanreath is determined not to go down without a fight. The threat to the primary school is the final straw for the villagers, who want the power-brokers and politicians in London to see what is happening to the countryside.

But will the villagers manage to seize the trendy London suburb? The Women's Institute lead the Morris Dancers, sheep and cows into battle."
