Here is the “Happy-Go-Lucky” plot description (source [2]):
Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is a life-loving, irrepressibly cheerful, Pollyanna-type primary school teacher who is 30 years old, single and infinitely optimistic and accepting. She lives with her best friend and flatmate, Zoe (Alexis Zegerman), in London.
She is tested by a repressed driving instructor with anger problems (Eddie Marsan) and tests him in turn.
She has exciting flamenco lessons, an encounter with a homeless man, a row with her pregnant sister and a love affair with the social worker guiding one of her students.
