Helen is a business woman in her forties. She has everything she could wish for; the perfect house and garden in a good neighbourhood, the ideal job of sales manager in a prestigious business, a smart new car with all the extras and platinum membership of an exclusive health club. Well almost everything; she has no boyfriend.

The girls in Helen’s team obviously discuss men a lot. So she is not left out, Helen decides to construct Greg, the perfect boyfriend, in her imagination. She creates a whole story around Greg which matches her lifestyle and builds him up to be her ideal boyfriend. However all does not go quite to plan.

The story is set principally in Helen’s home, her office and her surrounding neighbourhood where we have a glimpse in to Helen’s world. The question arises though – is this all too good to be true?

The story takes place in a typical domestic setting in a house somewhere in suburban England. It is the story of a husband, Ben Harris and his wife, Laura Harris and their relationship. The story is centred around a simple everyday activity as Laura looks to cheer up Ben by surprising him by preparing one of his favourite treats.

The film opens with Ben in reflective mood reading the paper before leaving the house for a while. Laura takes the opportunity to do some baking before Ben returns. It is clear from the action that Ben and Laura love one another dearly and it is the nature of this relationship which is at the heart of the film giving it such an endearing quality.

The film was shot on location in Dorset, England.
