The opening scene of "Sightseers" establishes the relationship of lonely Tina (Alice Lowe) and her mother Carol (Eileen Davies). It isn't a good relationship, as Carol whines constantly about how Tina is responsible for the death of Poppy, her beloved pooch. Looking for an escape from her life, Tina finds solace in Chris (Steve Oram), a burly bearded man who seems equally lonely and equally ready for a change of pace.
