About
An eccentric lottery winner Charles (Tim Key) lives alone on a remote Welsh island but dreams of hiring his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden), to play an exclusive gig. Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has also hired Herb’s ex-bandmate – and ex-girlfriend – Nell (Carey Mulligan) 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. Characterized as gentle, funny, heartwarming, and full of droll British humour, The Ballad of Wallis Island is "simple but not simplistic filmmaking; an exceedingly British comedy that steers just clear of mawkish."
