Storyline

On her seventieth birthday feisty, foul-mouthed widow Mim tells her worry-prone school-teacher daughter Fran that they are booked into a luxury hotel so that Fran is shocked to discover it is actually Mini-World, a tatty theme park Mim had always wanted to visit. A further shock is in store when Mim explains that she is terminally ill and this is the first item on her bucket list. An admission from Fran sparks a row but an uneasy truce is restored as the couple prepare to fulfil Mim's second wish.
