Eccentric, widowed lottery winner Charles Heath (Tim Key) living alone on the remote Wallis island off the coast of Wales tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favourite musicians to perform at his home.

Musician, Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) – half of former folk duo McGwyer Mortimer – arrives but is surprised by the arrival of Nell, the other duo member (Carey Mulligan) and new husband.

Charles is thrilled to have reunited the duo, but tensions flare and relations are complicated by Amanda a single mother who runs the island’s only shop!

A must-see British comedy and winner of BAFTA awards.

AFTERNOON FILMS

The first March film on Friday March 13th will be Some Like it Hot
at 2.00pm in the Church Institute

After two Chicago musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness the the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, they want to get out of town and get away from the gangster responsible, Spats Colombo. They’re desperate to get a gig out of town but the only job they know of is in an all-girl band heading to Florida. They show up at the train station as Josephine and Daphne, the replacement saxophone and bass players. They certainly enjoy being around the girls, especially Sugar Kane Kowalczyk who sings and plays the ukulele. Joe in particular sets out to woo her while Jerry/Daphne is wooed by a millionaire, Osgood Fielding III. Mayhem ensues as the two men try to keep their true identities hidden and Spats Colombo and his crew show up for a meeting with several other crime lords.

There will be another film to be shown at 2.00pm on Friday 27th March.
The film has yet to be decided.
