<P> The main couple, childlike Candice Marie (Alison Steadman) and eccentric - obsessive Keith (Roger Sloman), arrive at a campsite in Dorset and pitch their tent in a quiet spot suitable for appreciating nature's wonders while keeping other human beings safely at arm's length . The couple take day trips to Corfe Castle, a quarry and a local farm to purchase some untreated milk . Their usual routine (which includes performing their own guitar - banjo compositions, preparing healthy vegetarian dinners and following the Country Code) is rudely interrupted by Ray (Anthony O'Donnell), a lone student and trainee PE teacher who camps down nearby and switches on his radio: this is treated by the couple as an unforgivable crime, and they force Ray to turn it off . Later, on the way home after a trip to Stair Hole, it begins to rain and the couple notice a figure (which turns out to be Ray) walking along the road and give him a lift home . </P> <P> Their relationship becomes increasingly tense and tempers flare when Keith notices Candice Marie exhibiting an unseemly interest in Ray's well - being--"she crawls into his tent to show him stones she has collected on the beach; Keith explodes with jealous rage after spying on them from behind the bushes with his binoculars, like a character in a farce ." Later, Ray is asked to take a photograph of the couple but is patronised by Keith and Candice Marie and is forced to participate in a song at Keith's behest . As soon as some kind of order seems to have been restored, Brummie couple Finger and Honky arrive on their motorbike, equipped with an army tent, a football and a fondness for late - night drinking . Befriending Ray, who has more in common with their personalities than Keith and Candice Marie, they all get quite drunk at the local pub . After arriving back at the campsite and continuing to make a large amount of noise, Honky and Finger raise the ire of Keith who shouts at them to be quiet . Finally, Keith and Candice Marie have an intense argument with Finger and Honky over Finger's plans to light a fire to cook some sausages . Keith highly objects to this, as it contravenes the rules of the site, and resorts to violence to stop it, chasing Finger around the campsite with a giant stick . Eventually running out of energy, Keith bursts into tears and runs off into the woods . When he returns some time later, Keith decides that he and Candice Marie will leave the campsite but is unable to get a refund from Miss Beale, the site's owner . </P> <P> Finally finding peace, Keith and Candice Marie pitch their tent in the field of a nearby farm . Whilst Keith looks for a suitable spot to go to the toilet, Candice Marie sings along to another composition of hers on guitar and the film ends . </P> <P> In keeping with Leigh's other films, Nuts in May serves as a commentary on many of the daily issues faced by many people, in this case with particular emphasis on neighbour relations . Keith may have the full weight of the law on his side when he reprimands the other campers for their thoughtless, and sometimes reckless, behaviour, but he lacks the compassion, communication skills and understanding of human nature required to have them willingly acknowledge their mistakes . Also, while Keith becomes irritated with almost every human contact, others seem to be able to deal with others without these problems .' Better than being at home, innit', utters Finger to Honky after one particularly fierce bust up that leaves Keith incandescent . This particularly resonates since Finger, a plasterer, has already confessed to Ray that, because of the shortage of new housing, there is little work available . The couple find peace only when they pitch their tent in a farmer's field, away from other people after Keith, snobbishly, has told the others to' get back to your tenements' . </P>
