Storyline

Ann cleans for a living. She shares everything she has with her two moody children and her equally erratic neighbours but she also shares everything her rich and constantly out-of-town employers have. When Ann's not sorting out the lives of her family and friends, she's thinking about her father's property in the country and how nice it would be to live there. Only one little international mining company stands in her way. But Ann, used to beating the system in her own quiet way, is not about to let that spoil her plans.

Amusing

Not-quite-feature-length telemovie is amusing all the way through without ever being hilarious, and finishes with a classic tie-off. It's a little-known film, but features Noah Taylor (from SHINE) and Les Foxcroft, and is well worth a look, if you can catch it. 67/100.
