PRESS KIT
August 6, 2013
Romie, a womanising
aspiring mechanic, and
Pack, his brutally honest
best friend, aim to put all of
their salary towards a
down-payment on a
garage. They hope to build
a successful mechanic
shop to get away from their
boring jobs as security
guards, their overly loving
but eccentric families, and
poor standard of living in
their village, Pickletons.
The first task is simple –
give the money to the
owner of the shop at the
village lime that night, but
their effort to save money is
challenged by the demands
of several villagers. They go
to extreme measures to
avoid the violent drug man,
a charity collector, the
crazy ex-girlfriend and
other wacky characters.
