During a time of profound change in national mood, novelist Robert Wilson hires a car and goes on the road with producer Mike MacCormack to some of the less well-off, less well-known parts of the United Kingdom. They follow no particular route and stop at random to talk to their fellow citizens in pubs, cafes, in their homes and on the streets. His approach is unplanned and spontaneous, and he takes the time to listen to his fellow citizens. The resulting film refreshingly captures the undiluted experience and changing mood of people all round the country and offers the rest of the nation an opportunity to see a part of itself it rarely sees.
