Historia
A marketing guru for Coca-Cola, known as 'The Kid', travels to Australia with the goal of increasing market penetration for the company. Upon arrival, he finds that there's no Coca-Cola presence in a valley owned by an old man who produces his own soft drinks. The Kid visits the valley to understand why and is eventually granted a tour of the man's plant. During this visit, they discuss a potential joint venture between the old man and Coca-Cola. However, complications arise when The Kid begins developing feelings for his temporary secretary, who has ties to the valley.
