A hilarious comedy.
Barbara’s husband, Jack is missing from the family farm.
When Jack finally returns he is in a delusional state, suffering from Agriphobia (a fear of agriculture)
and convinced he is a Japanese soldier holding out on an island after World War 2.
Barbara enlists the help of the village idiot, a new vet and her naive daughter.
How will Barbara restore Jack’s mind without the help of a medical professional or common sense?
