Poppy is a young primary school teacher. A free spirit, she is open and generous - as funny and anarchic as she is focussed and responsible.
She has time for everybody, and whoever she meets falls in love with her.
She loves the children she teaches, and works hard. She shares a flat with a girlfriend, enjoys her social life, is caring towards her younger sisters, and takes flamenco and trampoline lessons.
When she starts driving lessons, her maturity and her sense of humour help her to deal with a manic instructor.
Comfortable with being single, she meets through work a guy with whom she really clicks.

We live in a chaotic world. We're destroying our planet and each other.
There's much to lament. But while some of us sit around being gloomy and pessimistic, plenty of people out there are being positive, and getting on with things.
Not least among such folk are our school-teachers. Teaching kids is nurturing the Future, and you can't do that without being optimistic.
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is all about a young teacher called Poppy.
Her outlook is positive and uplifting. She is full of life and love and joy. And she has a great sense of humour.
For me, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is an anti-miserabilist film.
