i commend picture that try something different . many film just seem like re tread of old idea and so that be the big reason i so strongly recommend passport to pimlico . the movie be set just after ww2 and the post war shortage and ration seem to be drive londoner barmy . the film center on a tiny neighborhood in london call pimlico . they and too and be sick of not be able to buy what they want but can see no way out of it . that be until they accidentally stumble upon a hidden treasure and a charter which officially name this neighborhood a a sovereign nation many hundred of year ago . with this document and they reason and they can bypass all the rationing and coupon and live life just a they want and since it turn out they really arent british subject . where the movie go from there and how the crisis be ultimately resolve be something you will need to see for yourselves . leave it up the brilliant mind of ealing studio to come up with this gem .
