Eighty-three year old Ruby fears an excuse to put her in the Golden Age Retirement home and arranges for her nephew to find a suitable tenant for her downstairs flat. Spying Rata, Ruby assumes she is the property-dealing businesswoman Rata says she is. In reality Rata is a welfare-defrauding, aspiring rock singer with an eight-year-old delinquent son. A reasonably well done light comedy, with a fine first role from Lee Mete-Kingi. .
