Comedy-drama inspired by James Griffiths’ short film — co-written by Tom Basden and Tim Key.
Charles (Key), an oddball lottery winner with a singular passion for the alt-folk duo, McGwyer Mortimer, tries to get the band back together by inviting Herb McGwyer (Basden) and Nell Mortimer (Carey Mulligan) to play a concert on the remote island on which he lives.
Charles’ invitation, unfortunately, never explains to the musical pair — who were once romantically involved — that the other one will be coming, nor that it's a concert for one. As this hilariously uncomfortable arrangement plays itself out, the former lovers and bandmates remember their past while rehearsing their old songs and try to find some harmony with the discordant parts of their present lives.
