It centers around Matt Lucas as a strange little bald man, who lives alone (with the exception of his landlord's corpse) and wears nothing but his undies & a new wig with each venture into the cruel world that surrounds him. Åkerlund seems to have a firm grasp on his characters, as each aren't particularly great people but all are interesting and sympathetic. The only problem is the narrative occasionally loses it's balance with some wonky pacing. All in all, it's an enjoyable, sad and thoughtful quirky comedy that disturbs just as much as it makes you laugh.
