Description
In the picturesque Cornish village of Lanruan, two partners have built a thriving business making plaster pixies for tourists. Foley's artistic flair and Moss's manufacturing expertise have made their partnership a success, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer. As the local characters - including a primitive painter, a loud-mouthed Northerner, and a free-spirited woman - go about their daily lives, the fragile balance between Foley and Moss begins to unravel. A seemingly innocuous incident sets off a chain of events that exposes hidden desires and unspoken attachments. This darkly comedic tale is a nuanced exploration of human relationships and the complexities of partnership.
