FILM: THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND, DC VILLAGES SENIOR CINEMA AT THE AVALON – ERCV is this month’s sponsor! $6.00 tickets for seniors and free for caregivers accompanying a senior.

“James Griffiths’ tender comedy-drama also has a ton of heart, a generosity of spirit and an ultimately disarming sweetness that make it sneak up on you, cynicism be damned. It’s also quite funny, in an eccentric, decidedly British way. ” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

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, Mortimer-McGwyer (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.
