WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Tally Green (Tilston) works a menial cleaning job in Cornwall, but gets a boost of confidence when she starts writing music on a client’s piano. When jaded corporate lawyer Leo (Hart) moves to the area, he is enchanted by her free spirit and her clear talent, which she has recorded onto an old 4-track machine and put onto a tape. Eventually, Tally receives the support and self-motivation she needs to make it big…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
