PASSPORT TO PIMLICO satirizes the bureaucracy of postwar England, primarily the policy of rationing that was necessary as the economy recovered its footing. In Pimlico, a neighborhood of London, the accidental explosion of a left-over bomb reveals a cache of treasure and papers declaring the area is technically a part of Burgundy, and therefore separate from England. The residents, tired of postwar rationing and other problems, declare independence. At first flush with the feeling of freedom, they soon realize that surviving as their own state will be more difficult than they realized. (official distributor synopsis)
