Helen leads a dull life in a Welsh town, her days split between packaging chickens at the local processing plant and caring for her ex-husband's mother. Her unexciting routine is broken by the mysterious arrival of Joanne, an old high-school friend whose appearance stirs dormant feelings. Together, the duo rediscovers the joys of living and falling in love, finding in their beloved community of fierce, independent working-class women the strength necessary to overcome small-town prejudice. Mixing big laughs, romance tropes, and musical elements (featuring the inspiring music of Neil Diamond, Janis Ian, Minnie Riperton and others), vibrant Chuck Chuck Baby tells a modern love story that is as refreshing as it is heartwarming.
