In
Janice Beard 45 WPM, an eccentric Scottish woman dives headfirst into London's work force, which may or may not be ready for her. Janice (
Eileen Walsh) began dealing with an unusual home life from birth; her dad died of a heart attack as she was being born, sending her mother into a funk from which she's never quite recovered. At 23, Janice decides she needs to get a job to help pay for her mother's medical bills, so she puts together a resume and starts looking for work -- never mind that her c.v. is, for the most part, a pack of lies. Janice manages to flub her way into the typing pool of an auto company, where she unexpectedly becomes part of the office intrigues of Sean (
Rhys Ifans), an ambitious office assistant.
Patsy Kensit appears in a supporting role as Julia, a secretarial supervisor;
Rhys Ifans would later appear in the
Julia Roberts/
Hugh Grant vehicle
Notting Hill.
