Chaos erupts when eccentric tour operator Finchley Holiday Tours leads an inexperienced, wildly mismatched group of British travelers on a package holiday to the fictional, sun-drenched Spanish resort of Elsbels. The motivation driving most of the travelers is a desperate escape from the dreary predictability of domestic life back in England, though their romantic and hedonistic expectations quickly collide with a cascade of travel disasters.Upon arrival, the holidaymakers discover their hotel is not only unfinished and surrounded by dust and construction debris, but entirely lacking basic amenities. Led by the chronically stressed and inept tour rep Stuart Farquhar, whose primary motivation is keeping his job while harboring amorous intentions toward sultry holidaymaker Eva, the group tries to make the best of it.
