About the film

An English cartographer and his assistant (Hugh Grant) come during World War II in a small Welsh village to measure a mountain. It turns out that the 'mountain' several feet missing and it is really just a hill.

Indignant decides the village community 'foremost Pubbesitzer Morgan' The buck 'and Pastor Robert Jones' 'their mountains' to the required height aufzuschütten. By all possible means, the villagers are trying to move the cartographers to remain along with re-measurement of the hill.

The film is based on a (not quite) true story in the Welsh village Taff's Well and on the mountain Garth Mountain. With typical British humor, the film explores the friendly rivalry between the English and Welsh.
