Overview

Eccentric lottery winner Charles lives alone on a remote island but dreams of hiring his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer, to play an exclusive, private gig. Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has also hired Herb’s ex-bandmate and ex-girlfriend, Nell, with her new husband in tow, 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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warm-hearted but emotionally charged ensemble comedy about a well-meaning eccentric who tries to resurrect a broken musical partnership, only to find that old wounds run deeper than nostalgia. The film balances genuine affection for its characters with the uncomfortable friction of people who've moved on colliding with someone else's fantasy.
