Nuts in May (1976)

Brimming with whimsical charm and a dash of eccentricity, Nuts in May revolves around the meticulously organized Keith and the delightfully spontaneous Candice-Marie. Their Morris crammed to bursting, they embark on a tranquil escapade to a Dorset campground, shelling out £10 for a serene ten-night stay. The idyllic setting allows them to indulge in a peaceful exploration of Corfe Castle, savor vegetarian cuisine, and embark on a quest for raw milk. All seems well until a boisterous fellow with a blaring radio invades their tranquility, pitching his tent uncomfortably close to theirs. Keith's frustration skyrockets, exacerbated when Candice-Marie innocently befriends the noisy intruder. The situation spirals further out of control with the arrival of a motorcycling duo who disturb the peace with their noisy nighttime activities and a forbidden campfire. Unable to bear this onslaught on his tranquility, Keith reaches a breaking point. As their peaceful retreat morphs into an escalating turf war, will our middle-class couple carve out their tranquil haven or are they fated to clash with the boisterous and unkempt?

Nuts in May is a comedy movie featuring Alison Steadman and directed by Mike Leigh.
