The Ballad Of Wallis Island - 2025 - 7/10

Herb accepts an offer of a suitcase of cash to perform at a small island.
Unbeknownst, his ex-musical partner has also been invited.
Despite artistic chemistry, there is a history of damaged personal feelings.
Old partner Nell is married and long out of music, while Herb is a sellout, or artistic compromiser.
Advertised as a “big-hearted comedy”, this is a soft ballad of loss.
Lost youth, lost love, lost moment. Hopes, mere flickers.
Yet, as with many losses, what fills the void is unpredictable.
