(Happy-Go-Lucky) Director: Mike Leigh, GB, 2008, English version / Czech subtitles, 118 min

Poppy Cross is happy-go-lucky. At 30, she lives in Camden: cheeky, playful, frank while funny, and talkative to strangers. She's a conscientious and exuberant primary-school teacher and flatmates with Zoe, her long-time friend. She's close to one sister, and not so close to another. In this “slice of life” story, we watch her take driving lessons from Scott, a dour and tightly-wound instructor, take classes in flamenco dance from a fiery Spaniard, encounter a tramp in the night, and sort out a student's aggressive behavior with a social worker's help. Along the way, we wonder if her open attitude puts her at risk of misunderstanding or worse. What is the root of happiness?
