It tells the story of an overly large Vicky (Michelle Botha) who owns a successful bookshop in London’s Hampstead.
She guzzles comfort food and chocolate to make up for her somewhat boring existence.
She good-humouredly suffers the slings and arrows of her friend and lodger, the not-so-young Henry (Tobie Cronjé), while failing to notice that her other tenant, James (Jeremy Richard), worships her from afar.
A stranger, a handsome man of thirty, one day stumbles into her bookshop looking for a travel book as he is on the verge of departing for Iran on a four month working engagement.
Aided by Henry and James, hard exercise, diet and a graph she manages to reduce to a streamlined version of her former self – only to realise it was her rotundity that attracted Tom in the first place.
