A funny, melancholy story of a folk duo reunited by an oddball superfan on a remote Welsh island.
This is a lovely comedy about the acceptance of failure, loss and the slow understanding that what's gone is not coming back: an ode to rain and cardigans, lousy plumbing and worse puns. It's both gloriously funny and oddly comforting, taking a world where everything seems to be slowly coming adrift and making that feel so much more bearable.
Directed by James Griffiths, the film features great performances by Carey Mulligan, Tim Key and Tom Basden (who also wrote the songs).
