《最重要的小事》由《費雪成長日記》編劇大衛奈許（David J. Nash）執筆劇本，描述一群朋友各自因不同原因，以不同方式在生活中停滯不前，直到其中一名朋友瓊恩（Jon）無預警死亡後，他們終於醒悟決定活出自我的人生。

Princess Georgiana is the black sheep of a fictional British Royal Family. A PR disaster, she's spent her spoilt, party-girl life plastered over the tabloids. On the back of her latest scandal her mother, the Queen, makes the unprecedented move of abdicating her Australian throne in favour of her daughter. It is hoped that giving her some real responsibility will finally be the making of her – and if it isn't, at least shipping her off keeps her 10,000 miles away from London.

Small-farmer Pasi shoots four policemen who have come to arrest him for raged drunkenness. The movie is a flashback examining the events that finally lead to the tragic shooting. As time goes by, Pasi sinks deeper into poverty, gets into trouble with police and tax officials, all while family arguments grow more and more serious. Based on a real story.
