In post-war London, a group of neighbors in the Pimlico district stumbles upon something surprising: they discover that their neighborhood is, in fact, an ancient duchy that was never officially dissolved following the fall of the monarchy. This finding becomes the center of a hilarious entanglement when they decide to declare independence for their small community, grateful for the chance to escape the rigid restrictions of British government rationing.
With a spirit of hope and a sense of unity, the villagers seize their new status to enjoy life like never before. However, chaos is not long in coming, as news of their autonomy piques the interest of the authorities and the press. While the residents of Pimlico try to stay out of bureaucracy and maintain their independence, they find themselves caught up in a series of comedic situations that defy logic and reason.
Amid absurd diplomatic agreements and disastrous negotiations, the main characters—a group of unique residents—struggle to defend their new identity and the essence of their community. Through unexpected twists and charming British humor, the story celebrates resilience and communal spirit, while the protagonists realize that sometimes what truly matters is the place you call home, regardless of the boundaries imposed on you.
