The synopsis of the film is as follows:

'Banter around the Burger Van is always animated – especially with Ken griping to his mates about his nagging wife and kids. It’s an endless family saga...

But Ken’s home isn’t your typical family abode...in fact, there is no family. He lives with his elderly mother, on a diet of frozen ready meals. In reality he doesn’t get out much, and the only life worth talking about is the one he’s invented.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, kids playing football, a TV advert for family holidays...and so Ken’s next adventure is born, a two-week holiday to Spain, how hard can that be to fabricate?

But who is Ken really fooling? And what is the real tragedy...Ken’s imaginary existence, or the reality of a life without fantasy?'
