Water is a 1985 British comedy movie directed by Dick Clement who with his fellow screenwriter Ian La Frenais set the film as a farce on the behavior of British colonists and "natives", as well as the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada and the 1982 Falklands War. The fictional British colony of Cascara, a small Caribbean island, ruled by Baxter Thwaites is treated indifferently by the Empire, and London is even considering plans to clear the island and turn it into a nuclear repository. However, when a U.S. oil company restarts its old production facilities for the sole purpose of filming a commercial, aromatic and digestive mineral water is accidentally unearthed from the abandoned oil well. The discovery of the water attracts many interest groups to the island who are interested in the expected profits. In addition, there is a two-man rebel group on the island that seeks Cascara's independence from Great Britain. Diplomatic chaos is the result, which becomes more and more confusing for all parties.
