Synopsis
Based on an original screenplay by Booker prize-winner Kazuo Ishiguro, Issabella Rossellini stars as a beer baroness who, at the height of the
Great Depression, sponsors a contest to find the world's saddest tune. A darkly comic tale - part musical melodrama, part tongue-in-cheek social satire.
