The film opens with Withnail and I living in a squalid flat in Camden Town. Withnail is a charming, yet irresponsible and often drunk actor, while I is a more sensible and level-headed one. Withnail and I are both struggling to make it in the world of acting, and the two decide to take a break from their troubles by going on a holiday to the countryside.
The two arrive at a remote cottage owned by Withnail’s eccentric Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths).
