In this sharp witty comedy, a lottery winner pays his favourite duo to reunite and perform a concert for him on his remote island.

THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND (12) follows an ultra-wealthy, eccentric lottery winner called Charles (played by Tim Key) who uses his fortune to orchestrate the ultimate passion project. He tracks down and reunites his absolute favourite indie-pop musicians McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan) — who happen to be long-disbanded and deeply estranged.

Flown out to a completely remote, private island, the former bandmates are forced to stage a private concert just for him. However, isolated from the world, old grudges quickly resurface, creative egos clash, and the billionaire’s bizarre demands push everyone to their absolute limits.

Starring Carey Mulligan alongside comedy heavyweights Tom Basden and Tim Key, this British comedy drama delivers brilliant banter, cringeworthy social dynamics, and a lot of heart.

Doors open half an hour before the film starts.
