Harvie Krumpet is an Australian claymation film that follows the extraordinary life of its titular character, Harvie. The film spans several decades and explores the trials and tribulations he faces throughout his life.

The story begins with Harvie's birth in Poland in 1922, with an unfortunate twist of fate as he is born with Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes him to exhibit involuntary tics and make uncontrollable sounds. Harvie's childhood is marked by isolation and bullying due to his condition, which constantly sets him apart from his peers.

As Harvie grows older, his bad luck persists. He moves to Australia and eventually gets struck by lightning, an event that leaves him permanently scarred. In another stroke of misfortune, Harvie is diagnosed with testicular cancer, leading to the removal of one of his testicles.

Despite his continuous struggles, Harvie proves to be resilient and determined to find happiness. He ventures into various occupations, including working as a factory worker, a taxi driver, and even an astronaut. Through these experiences, he encounters both kindness and cruelty from the people he meets.

Amidst the challenges, Harvie discovers love. He meets a wonderful woman named Val, and together they share a loving and tender relationship. Val's understanding and acceptance of Harvie's Tourette's Syndrome provide him with the stability and support he has long sought.

However, as Harvie ages, another obstacle emerges when he begins to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disorder takes a toll on his mental faculties, causing memory loss and confusion. Harvie's life becomes a constant struggle as he tries to cope with the debilitating effects of his condition.

Despite the hardships and difficulties Harvie faces, he always manages to find moments of joy and meaning. Harvie experiences profound moments of freedom, often depicted through instances of nudity, symbolizing his liberation from societal constraints and embracing his unique identity. Through his journey, Harvie learns numerous life lessons and gains wisdom about the true value of happiness, resilience, and love.

In the end, Harvie's life serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Despite enduring a series of unfortunate events, Harvie finds solace and purpose in embracing life's many fruits and, ultimately, discovering the true meaning of his existence.
