Nine-year-old Babs is perfectly content in life. She has a loving family, a great best friend/skateboarding buddy and is very happily 100% vegetarian. But what she really, really wants is a puppy... When a rather strange, elderly, banjo-playing cowboy turns up out of the blue just before her birthday, claiming to be her long-lost grandfather, Babs is initially annoyed - especially when he takes over her garden hut as his new lodgings. But when he gives her what she describes as "the best birthday present ever", she begins to slowly warm to him. It's just that the present is not a puppy - but a pig. In addition, he steadfastly refuses to reveal what is in the locked suitcase under his bed - and seems to be showing rather a lot of interest in a forthcoming sausage-making competition...
Keeping a pet pig is not for the faint of heart. Flatulence and poop are everywhere - and this film does not shy away from the awkward facts! The film revels in its Roald Dahl-esque sense of humour, but the overall message is one of triumph over adversity, and ultimately diploma-winning good behaviour!
