When the long-awaited holiday of cement truck driver Danny goes awry thanks to Trudy, his scheming girlfriend, Danny accidentally escapes his suburban prison and blasts into the skies in a garden chair tied with helium balloons. A mighty thunderstorm blows him clean off the map and spits him out over the lush green town of Clarence, where he rockets into the world of Glenda, the town's only parking cop. While the media back home run riot with the story of his disappearance, Danny gets to reinvent himself in Clarence and in the adventure discovers a true soulmate in Glenda. Danny embraces his newfound zest for life. A delightful romantic comedy following the search for happiness, no matter where it may lead. Produced by Andrew Mason. Cinematographer: Martin McGrath.
