When David dreams of improving the lives of those living in an inner city slum, his idealistic view of the world leads him to reach for the skies.
But life isn’t easy when your neighbour is the town’s most cynical journalist, your wife has principles and your secretary falls in love with you.
An award-winning comedy about idealism, realism and the tangled nature of human relationships.
