Synopsis

Fictional town Warton, Victoria, Australia is facing the ultimate disaster: its largest employer, the paper mill, has suddenly announced that it is closing its doors forever, sending the town spiralling into an economic depression. When a chipper but overwhelmed tourism officer arrives to lend a hand, she discovers an unlikely business partnership in the three brassy friends that make up the local chapter of Weight Watchers.
A clever and cheeky tale this is a hilarious irreverent comedy which also celebrates determination and community spirit. Underlying the laughs is a very touching human story of small town values and resilience.
