As Harvie’s Alzheimer’s disease worsens, his nursing home is visited by a church group, entertaining him with the song 'God is better than football, God is better than beer’. Harvie sees in his imagination the residents of the home animated into a choreographic sequence, inspired by Busby Berkeley’s 1930s Hollywood musicals.

Adam Elliot won the Best Short Film (Animated) Oscar for Harvie Krumpet at the 2003 Academy Awards.
