Feted by an editor who need his skills to increase the circulation of her magazine, he goes on a spree of photograping footballers, models and rockstars, but does not follow his brief. Eleanor the editor is not impressed. To get him to make amends, she sends him to photgraph the reclusive actress May Hudson, who has not been photgraphed for years. He soon discovers that he cannot get her picture in the conventional manner, as she never leaves her Buckingham mansion. Wayne realises he must try to befriend May's village neighbours of film producers and actors. However they quickly quickly turn their aquaintance with him to their advantage by hatching a plan to have Wayne pose as a movie producer to get May in their movie. Like the film Sunset Boulevard, May makes a triumphal return to Pinewood Studios when the village has-beens succeed in getting their film funded, but when she discovers Wayne is a lowly paparazzi, she drugs and ties him to the bed. Kidnapped and helpless Wayne's life as a paparazzi unravels before him!

Bill, a timid and overworked Brit, impulsively books a beach escape in the hope of unwinding. On arrival, he's greeted by a mysterious Balkan baba and follows her into the flat of her daughter, Sunny - an eccentric former travel agent. “Welcome to paradise, my darling,” Sunny beams, rebranding their small home into a VIP holiday experience. Out of his depth, Bill is soon commandeered by Sunny’s persuasive upselling and is roped into a unique beach excursion - pay per hour. Each day brings another increasingly absurd encounter: a coffee-cup fortune becomes a massage sales pitch, while an innocent nap takes a strange turn. Yet amidst the oddness, Sunny and Baka’s boundless hospitality and growing fondness for having a man around the house begin to make Bill feel at home. On his final morning, Bill discovers that his bed is actually Baka's bed. Sitting together on the balcony, he confesses his deep dark secret: he’s never been on holiday before and worries he’s doing it wrong. “What a silly thing to worry about,” Sunny says. Bill decides it’s a great day for the beach. Business is back on as Sunny and Baka bicker about how many sandwiches they can sell.
