Quirky, upbeat school teacher Poppy takes great joy in all things, especially in teasing her grumpy new driving instructor. This interesting outlook on modern urban relationships integrates humor with moments of isolation, sadness and conflict as flighty Poppy attempts a romantic relationship with a social worker who collaborates with her at school.
