Larry (Stanley Tucci) is a chronically unsatisfied ex-pat residing on a remote island village in the Mediterranean. The village is tiny but famous for having been the home of one of Europes most celebrated composers. Although Larry hoped to absorb some of the great mans glory. His modest talents have instead confined him to playing piano in local bars.
Desperate to make his mark Larry stages a gala concert as a tribute to the late composer. His plans, however, are challenged by every inhabitant of the village including his partner, the neurotic, Miranda (Jessica Stevenson); the composers beautiful muse, Helena (Emmanuelle Seigner); Veronica (Marisa Paredes), the masters embittered widow; Sebastian (Hugh Bonneville), a social-climbing Englishman and his feckless younger brother, Dickie (Rhys Ifans); and most importantly, Frankie (Jena Malone), Larrys own stubborn and streetwise daughter whos been trying to track him down for years.
With his kooky entourage in tow Larry must learn to balance all the harmonies and deliver his own masterpiece.

What kept me interested was the beautiful landscape & balanced amount of drama, humor. The passion everyone has in the movie, for different things, makes it relevant to anyone.
A slow people watcher, but not only are the characters not endearing, they're all boring, not even the gorgeous setting can save this one.
Not a lot to work with here. The performances were good but the plot was boring.
a movie about nothing in particular where expats living on a spanish island get to know each other a little bit, not too much.
I have to say, you need to endure the first half of the movie to enjoy it. It's too slow and pointless at the beginning to be anything more than decent indie movie. Tucci is interesting but Ifans steals the whole show everytime he's on the screen. No... (read more) I have to say, you need to endure the first half of the movie to enjoy it. It's too slow and pointless at the beginning to be anything more than decent indie movie. Tucci is interesting but Ifans steals the whole show everytime he's on the screen. Not bad, but nothing more...
no redeeming qualities unless you count the italian island that is the setting.
