Based on Posy Simmond’s graphic novel, the romantic comedy tells the story of a young journalist who lives in London and returns to her hometown in the countryside. With the help of plastic surgery, Tamara, once an ugly ducking, is now a devastating beauty who soon must contend with infatuations, jealousies and  love affairs. She attracts very different men — from a rock star to a well-built rancher.
