A Private Function (1984) (original) (raw)
Set in post WWII Britain, food is rationed and meat an impossible luxury. With the queen's birthday approaching, the local village leadership is mortified at the thought of a jubilee celebration without a traditional sucking pig as a centerpiece.
With livestock ownership restricted, the village elders set in motion a secret plan to find and fatten a pig. Unfortunately for them, things don't go quite their way, thanks to a hapless podiatrist and a series of mishaps.
