An official selection of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Starring Carey Mulligan, Tom Basden and Tim Key.
The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.
The Ballad of Wallis Island is a darkly comic tale about loneliness, the power of fantasy and the strange things people do to make life sing.
