Life Is Sweet

In a North London home one summer, Wendy (Alison Steadman) works in a shop while her husband Andy (Jim Broadbent), a cook, keeps putting off the remodeling he has promised. Their twin daughters have gone different ways, Natalie a plumber, Nicola with no job and no plans. Mike Leigh follows the four of them over a few weeks, where the money is tight, the tempers are short, and the family's love for one another is what has to hold.
