Set in Thatcher-era England, this outrageous, heartfelt comedy tells the true story of an unlikely partnership. In solidarity, a small group of gay London activists travels to rural Wales to support a beleaguered village (Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton) during the 1984 miners strike. Needless to say, the townspeople are flummoxed by their champions. This is the Holy Grail for filmmakers: a story with a message that is also shamelessly entertaining, moving and funny.
