Synopsis
The story revolves around the life of Harvek Milos Krumpetzki, born in Poland in 1922. At the outbreak of World War II he comes to Spotswood in Australia as a refugee, and changes his name to Harvie Krumpet. Despite a life filled with bad luck - such as having Tourette's Syndrome, being struck by lightning, and losing one of his testicles - Harvie remains ever optimistic, living out his own eccentric way of life, marrying a nurse he meets in hospital and raising an adoptive daughter, who is a Thalidomide baby. Throughout his disaster-ridden life, people around him come and go, but right to the end Harvie delights in the simple pleasure of life. In one of the pivotal episodes of his life Harvie sits in the park next to a statue of Horace while he hears the instructional Carpe diem, which inspires him to make many changes in his life, such as embracing the naturist ways and embarking on daring rescue missions for animal rights.
.
The naïve simplicity of Harvie is an extended metaphor for the values of the young - a clear set of principles and the strength of family.
Goofs
- When Harvie first appears naked on screen, his skin tone is darker (with the exception of his mouth).
- The letter sent from Harvie's daughter has a British stamp on it, despite her being in America.
- Harvie's wife Valerie is shown to have died on his 65th birthday, 1984, but this is contradictory: his 65th birthday would have been in 1987, making 1984 his 62nd.
- When Harvie is born he has a complete set of teeth.
