Muriel Heslop is an outsider in the sleepy town of Porpoise Spit, trapped with her large family, a bullying father, and small-town pettiness. Escaping into a fantasy world of ABBA and bridal catalogues, she waits for Prince Charming to rescue her. When he never comes, Muriel takes fate into her own hands and heads to Sydney in search of happiness. A bittersweet, quirky comedy about hope and self-discovery.
