"A fresh, big-hearted comedy"Eccentric lottery winner Charles lives alone on a remote island but dreams of hiring his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer, to play an exclusive gig.
Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has also hired Herb’s ex-bandmate – and ex-girlfriend – Nell to perform the old favourites. As tempers flare and old tensions resurface, the stormy weather traps them all on the island and Charles desperately looks for a way to salvage his dream gig.
‘The film bewitches you with its seemingly spontaneous humour, a cadre of original soulful folk tunes and its adoration of the breathtaking surroundings.’ (Roger Ebert)
